What is the best on-line calculator for figuring the angular distance between stars ?
This on line calculator uses right ascension (hours, minutes, seconds) and declination (degrees, minute, seconds) and is not a good match for the Nautical Almanac which lists stars by sidereal hour angle and declination. An online calculator that uses sidereal hour angle and declination would be a better match to the Nautical Almanac.
