    and implementation that you can download:
    http://www.navigation-spreadsheets.com/uploads/lops.xls

    That said, another way to obtain the same answers is to use spherical trigonometry as described in John Karl’s book “Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age”, pp. 78-79”; you can download my implementation of those equations:
