Dear Antoine,
You asked: Are the "corrected Sun and Moon heights published here" corrected for "only dip and refraction", or rather - which actually seems [much] more logical - corrected for "dip, refraction and SD" ?
It is clear that given Sun and Moon altitudes are apparent altitudes. It can be concluded by examing the logs 0,2283 and 0,1519 which are log cosecants of apparent altitudes. The clearing method used here is Bowditch 2nd method.
