Hello Peter,

Thank you very much for sending this Formula ( .pdf :-) !!)

Maybe this is the one Frank earlier refered to in :
http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Nitpicking-Moon-Height-Corrections-FrankReed-may-2013-g24194

Frank, do you concur ?

Thank you very much again to you Peter and

Best Friendly Regards

Kermit

Hi Kermit,

In the attached spreadsheet the Moon parallax (B10) can also be corrected for the oblateness of the Earth by entering the latitude (E8) and azimuth (E9) in the yellow cells of column E. That said, even though it is there for completeness, I myself have never used it. My source for this formula is the Commercial Edition of the Nautical Almanac (attached PDF).
