Lars, THANK YOU. This is a marvelous present, especially for me who was unable to get further than equation (1).
Merry Christmas,
Hewitt

For those interested, attached is my analasys of Martelli's tables from 1920. It is partly based on an article in (the British) Journal of Navigation in 1973 by Charles Cotter, but I hope it is more straight forward and easily read.
Merry X-mas to all of you.
