If the last two pages in your N.A. are blank (i.e. pp. xxxiv-xxxv), you are probably missing something. However, to be sure, you should look for altitude correction tables, not: HP correction tables. Herbert Prinz P.S. You are luckier than some English sailors. While you can still use the correction tables of last year's almanac, some of this year's TSO copies are lacking daily pages for May and June. Quite embarrassing, considering that this is the main season for many important passages. I thought I mention this as food for thought for those amongst us who use celestial as backup for GPS. Sometimes it works the other way round! So much for the myth of the self sufficient celestial navigator, who does not depend on a properly functioning system operated by the government. My apologies to George Huxtable for "farting in church". Martin Gardner wrote: > Folks, > > I can't find the HP moon correction tables in my copy of the 2002 Nautical > Almanac [...]
