Hello Peter,
Thank you very much for the article of E. Guyou.
The question, now, for me, is : "Who is the true Father of modern method of lunar distance ?" Mayer for its tables, La Caille for the idea of "precalculate" the distances, ou Maskerlyne for the first Nautical Almanach ?
Have a nice Week End
Jacques
