Granted, but it does seem like you can see the numbers falling apart on the table when you are in the weeds so to speak. The thing that attracts me to 211 is that you don't even really need a form you can use whatever scratch paper if you have the definitions/equations in front of you. It is a very reassuring workflow. NAO has landmines all over. I did a few of them, and found the success rate low. I am sure this would greatly improve with practice -- but my intention was what would you want to have in a life raft kit? Ageton or NAO? I was working on a way to visualize where the danger zones are with 211, but seems tricky to do. What I notice with a shot on the table that is close to the bad areas is numbers changing very slowly or very quickly so that interpolation going from log to angle or the other way around is difficult. I am not aware of any issues when that is not true.
And thank you very much for your feedback. You are the first person to respond with my requests for input. Do you like the PDF output of the daylies? I still have to work on the parallax tables for the moon.
