    Here's an HO 211 solution:
    
    Hearty thanks to (and check out his other great programs!):

     Give K the same name as Dec.
    
     K~L: Add K and Lat, if contrary name.
       Subtract smaller from larger, if same name.
    
     If t > 90� then take K from bottom of table (90�-180�).
    
     Take Z from bottom of table (90�-180�) except when K is same name as Lat
       and greater than Lat, then take Z from top of table (0�-90�).
    
     If Lat = N and t = E then Zn = Z
     If Lat = N and t = W then Zn = 360�-Z
     If Lat = S and t = E then Zn = 180�-Z
     If Lat = S and t = W then Zn = 180�+Z
       Lat > 0� is N,  t > 0� is W
       Lat < 0� is S,  t < 0� is E
    
     K and T angles within 8� of 90� cause inaccurate Hc, interpolate B(R)
    
     If A(Z) is negative when Z is near 90�, then interpolate B(Hc), or use zero
    
     Hc is below horizon if K~Lat > 90�

    LAT=   43�00.0'N,  DEC=   20�06.0'N
    LHA=  339�00.0'W,  T  =   21�00.0'E

     A(Z)  = 15693.0      ?    Z = N 135.8� E,  Zn = 135.8� T
    
     Verify: Hc =  61�06.7',  Z = 135.8�,  Zn = 135.8�
