    Uploaded by

    Udithe Srinike
    This document contains observational data from intercepts of the sun and stars. It includes sextant altitude measurements, calculated intercept angles, and position lines used to determine the observer's position. At a meridian passage observation of the sun, the observer's position is fixed at 11°36'N 115°49'E. Star observations of Spica, Vega, and another unnamed star are also recorded.

    Summary of formulae for Calculator Use:


    Amplitude
    Sin Amp =

    Sin Dec
    Cos Lat

    Azimuth
    A=

    Tan Lat
    Tan P

    B=

    Tan Dec
    Sin P

    Rules for naming:


    A = Opp to Lat, except when LHA is between 90 - 270
    B = Same as Declination
    C = Same as larger of A & B, added if same, sub if different
    If LHA between 000 and 180, P = LHA
    If LHA between 180 and 360, P = 360 - LHA

    Tan Az =

    1
    C. Cos Lat
