    Re: how are the tables for declination generated ? equation ? etc......

    Hi everyone

    I came across your site and I've got a few doubts regarding these equations.I was wondering if anyone could help me out here:

    -Where in the tutorial is the "Te2" variable, inluded in EL's, formula calculated? "Te" is calculated elsewhere in the tutorial but not "Te2";

    -The little square before the 3600 also in EL's formula is supposed to be a division symbol right?

    For a newcomer I have a bunch of questions and no really contribution to make, hope you can forgive for that...

    Best wishes in advance and thanks for any replies...
