Bought a copy of Bruce Starks, Tables for Clearing the Lunar Distance a few weeks ago. From the archives it looks as though Bruce was a regular contributor but I did not see anything of late. I have two questions: 1) Are these the tables most members use for reducing Lunar observations or is there some other preferred method/tables? [I know there are many methods to do this, I'm just trying to get a feel for what method list members are using and what may be considered the most accurate method.] 2) Is anyone familiar with the trig/math that Bruce used to derive his lunar tables? If so, does anyone know if Bruce is amenable to posting it on the list or has it been posted in the past and I just missed it in the archives? Thanks in advance. --Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
