Bruce, you asked:
- Why is the declination of sun go to ninety degrees? What have I missed?
That nomogram is for any celestial object, the Sun is mentioned only in the description (on how to judge its' altitude through the refraction). It was Sean who used "sun" instead of "object" in his (not so perfect) translation.
Regards,
Tony
