Latitude by Polaris

Hello!

What do I get when I try to calculate the H_C with Polaris's LHA, Dec using properly cleared altitude as an assumed latitude?

Looks like if I add the H_C with the intercept value - I get the real latitude... The error is rather small for moderate latitudes.

Please comment.

Warm regards,

Tony
