Assume the following data:
HP of the moon on a given hour on a given day is 55.0
The Ha (Apparent Altitude) is 31 deg 37.1 min. Therefore using the altitude
correction tables 0-35 deg for the moon the first correction is 58.2.
Since this is a Lower Limb site, sliding down to the second correction we
have 1.9 for an HP of 54.9 or 2.2 for an HP of 55.2.
The question
is it OK to interpolate here and use 2.0 or go with 1.9 since 54.9 is
closer to 55 than 55.2?
Thank you
Guy
