Thanks Gary and Frank, I will be using my 2006 Nautical Almanac for 2010 Sun observations with no corrections and be within .5 MOA (good enough). For stars the plan is to photo copy the online Nautical Almanac for 1/1/10,3/1/10,6/1/10,9/1/10 and use the star SHA and declinations plus a 2.1 minute GHA aries correction which should get me within .5 MOA (good enough). Looks like I'm out of luck for the Moon and Planets though. Any ideas on how to compensate the Nautical Almanac Polaris table ?
