Hi, I'm looking for an algorithm for star ephemerides. I just don't know enough about astronomy yet. So far I've gathered that one adds the star's SHA to GHA Aries to get the star's GHA, but how does one get the star's SHA? I am looking for algorithms whose precision will be good enough for navigation, of course. Thanks! YA -- My opinions do not necessarily reflect my company's. The opposite is also true.
