it would be a very poor navigator --or one who was poorly instructed-- who needed help remembering that when the observed angle is higher the observer has shifted "towards" the GP (the point directly under the celestial body). That's "square one" celestial navigation. -Frank Reed
Agreed. If one cannot remember three simple words: "computed greater away", perhaps one should consider a different profession.
