    Re: Sight Reduction Form With No Duplication?
    From: Jeremy C
    Date: 2008 Jun 25, 23:05 EDT
     
    My rote memory "forms," for both 229 and 249, have one duplication copying only Ho from the Hs-Ho line to below the Hc line to get intercept.  I suppose I could forgo this duplication, but it would be a bit more mentally taxing to look at numbers from either different columns or far down the same column (I often do one or the other).  Otherwise I do no other duplications.
     
    I tend not to use pre-made forms as I find them limiting for different kinds of sights.  I pretty much run along for what I need to do and adapt as necessary.  For example, for a sunline verses an ex-meridian, I need to calculate LHA (or t) for both and use the same basic "form" but I don't pre-print anything to accomplish this task, as it varies from there.   I just "download" it from my head for each kind of sight.  The only "form" I use these days is a Bruce Starke Lunar as I am too much a newbie with them to memorize the form yet.
     
    If you'd like, i can try and photograph or scan one of my nav notebook pages to show you how I do it.
