Dear Sean,
In Ref post, you wrote :"What I am still confused about is how angle OC'S' is equal to the zenith distance of the body."
Please find here-enclosed a fragment of yesterday Breed's Pyramid you should already be familiar with (RE: post # 30505 and just compare both drawings: same scale, same colors and same points O, C' and S'). I simply drew a few additional lines onto it, and with the hand-written explanations hopefully the situation should now be fully clarified to you.
Best Regards
Kermit
