Hello!
Yesterday I took two sets of lunar distances from Regulus and Denebola. Usually to get fast results from known position I clear them by Fr.Reed online calculator. When I entered all the data of Denebola lunar set in calculator, the results were completely wrong. Then I noticed that in the lower fields of the calculator Deneb is shown instead of Denebola.
Why the calculator makes such an error?

PS
In the attached picture I highlighted the problematic fields. All the angular values in this example are random.
