Hi Grace,
What is it, specifically, that is giving you trouble? Are you interested in learning a particular method of sight reduction (such as using a certain set of tables or a calculator), or do you just want a general explanation?
Coincidentally, I recently typed up this basic explanation [attached] for someone else which explain the steps involved in a routine set of observations. Maybe you will find it useful.
Regards,
Sean C.
