Thanks hanno for the PDF of the Zn diagram, it works fine!
I love the method because of its simplicity, (only one diagram and two pages table fod haversines), and robustness.
In a practical way, when I perform the SR by hand, 1 moa is enough for me, aboard my 8 m yacht with a marine sextant, the Bay of Biscay is rarely in calm.
I have tested the method for latitude N and S in combination with declination N and S (Hanno Haversine.source for test.pdf) and works very well.
The file could be of interested for math lovers, see that uses the absolute values of the input data.
