Guy Schwartz asked- | I know how to reduce a sight using the Nautical Almanac Sight Reduction | method, however I don't | | Understand what I am doing aside from following the recipe. | | Can anyone give me a easy to understand description of what each step is | doing. =================== I think I have the answer to Guy's question. It's a paper in two parts, 7 A4 pages in all, which appeared in the spring and summer issues of "Navigator's Newsletter", by P M Janiszek, who, as I understand it, was responsible for these tables. I think, after reading those pages, Gay will feel that he knows all that needs to be known about those tables, and perhaps a bit more. I have sent scans of those pages backstage to Guy, but won't publish them to Navlist as they are copyright to the Newsletter. If anyone else would like to refer to a copy, I'm happy to share; just ask. George. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
