    Re: I and C pages of the NA

    Thanks Greg, Gary...

    I didn't frame by question very well.

    How are the d values at the bottom of the daily pages and the corresponding corrections in the I&C pages calculated/derived? For the sun, they range from 0.0 to 1.0 with the corresponding Dec correction ranging from 0.0 to 0.6.  The corresponding corrections range from 0.0 (beginning on June 18 and December 18, 2014) to 1.0 (September 10 and March 2). (In an old post, someone used the phrase "just a multiplication table." ? )

    (By the way, what's the significance of the superscript n on "Corr"?)

    Thanks, Dale
