Nice work Robert, and reassuring that we got the same result, albeit somewhat differently expressed.
I found one typo in my paper as well: Page 2, middle, I wrote "This expression has to be added to the outputs from table I and table II respectively." Please replace by "This expression has to be added to the two outputs from table I."
Frank wrote that table II is limited to something like 78.5 degrees for positive results. As the table runs right up to (almost) 90 degs this is obviously not true. The actual limitation of the formula is 101.5 degs, anyway latitude minus declination cannot exceed 90 degs for altitudes above the horizon.
