Attached is a diagram and formula (Napier rules) flow chart which I found useful to visualize the way Dreisonstok Pub. 208 solves the divided celestial triangle. A scientific calculator can be worked alongside Pub. 208 table 1 and 2 as a check. For comparison is also attached an explanation excerpt ( page 67) from the 5th Ed. of Pub. 208.
