John,
I used the Sun lower limb column number from the altitude correction table in the almanac. Do I need an additional altitude correction?
Also, can you tell me how to use the equation of time and mer. pass numbers in the almanac?

Patrick,
You still need the altitude correction with the artificial horizon.
