Please noite a "typo" in Millard Kirk's equation for M, the last term should
read
..... -23.2689 sin L NOT 23.2698
The correct value was used in the example. Oh well, it happens to us all.
Incidentally, are the "Log's" in the equation to base "e" or "10"? I guess I
can figure that out from the example or by checking with the Meridonal parts
tables.
