Here's an HO 211 solution:

Give K the same name as Dec.
K~L: Add K and Lat, if contrary name.
Subtract smaller from larger, if same name.
If t > 90� then take K from bottom of table (90�-180�).
Take Z from bottom of table (90�-180�) except when K is same name as Lat
and greater than Lat, then take Z from top of table (0�-90�).
If Lat = N and t = E then Zn = Z
If Lat = N and t = W then Zn = 360�-Z
If Lat = S and t = E then Zn = 180�-Z
If Lat = S and t = W then Zn = 180�+Z
Lat > 0� is N, t > 0� is W
Lat < 0� is S, t < 0� is E
K and T angles within 8� of 90� cause inaccurate Hc, interpolate B(R)
If A(Z) is negative when Z is near 90�, then interpolate B(Hc), or use zero
Hc is below horizon if K~Lat > 90�

LAT= 43�00.0'N, DEC= 20�06.0'N
LHA= 339�00.0'W, T = 21�00.0'E
