Hello!
Could someone give me a hint on the usage of the Proportional logarithms table?
Lets assume it is 2015-Jan-01 and after all the reduction and clearing I end up with the 80° angle between the Moon and Jupiter.
Looking here I see that the angle fits between the two precomputed entries:
- 12:00 UT, 84° 35'.2, PL 2620
- 15:00 UT, 82° 56'.8, PL 2628
What do I do next?
Thank you in advance.
Tony
