All:

Here is a link to a PDF of some plots I did recently using those postscript plot sheets and a homemade reduction form for HO 229:

After looking over some of my plots I realized I don't fully understand the corrections given in the Nautical Almanac for the Moon. I looked up the explanation in the Almanac, but didn't find it satisfactory. So my question: Is the first correction (from the upper table) a combination of refraction and semi-diameter and the second (from the lower table) for parallax in altitude?

I set the form up that way because that's the way I understood the corrections for Mars and Venus to be handled. (Correct me if I'm wrong, please!)

Thanks,
Sean C.

PS:

If anyone wants that reduction form, I have it saved as an Excel spreadsheet. I can email it or post it here. :)
