It seems that the Sight Reduction Table generation code improperly formatted entries beginning with -0, inserting 00 instead. I am in the process of manually updating the electronic publications, which will be posted to our Web site in the very near future. The errant publications were originally produced and posted to our Web site in 1999. Which mean that, in their 8+ years of service, you are the first and only user to notice the error!
