"1. Altitude Correction from the Almanac
For the Moon you are labeled correction as 36,5’
But for Moon altitude 46° 40’ I get it 49’ (see the table in the appendix)"
I do hope that some of the other NavList members will respond to this question from Sergei Akatiev. Although some of it depends on some basic background from my "Easy Lunars" essay, which he references, it's really just a question about altitude corrections. I don't have a lot of time this week, so please, help him out. Thanks.
