Greg, you wrote:
"Don't know if things have  changed since 2004, but the two closest entries

Sounds like it's the same. I should have stated that  you have to interpolate
to get that 57.7 entry. And when you do, it's 5.0 all  the way across.

"Assuming you want just the basic altitude correction  (and not parallax), the
2006 Nautical Almanac (Commercial Edition) shows a  correction of 0 degrees
34.5' for 0 degrees 00 minutes of  altitude."

Thanks! Curiosity satisfied. Sounds like they updated this  table, too. The
former value was 33.8.

And:
"I'll need an exact  figure for HP if you want that correction, I'm not going
to type the entire  column into this e-mail."

Right. I should have said that I was looking  for the first entry (the one
for HP=54.0). It should still be 0.3/0.9 since  refraction only affects the
Upper Table.
