Does the data contained in the NASR pages of the nautical almanac change year to year? Is this just a mathematical solutions table that never changes? I ask beacause I have cut the thin NASR section from an old almanac for a conveniently small version for NASR sight reductions. From time to time I will run the same sights through several reduction methods to make sure I haven't forgotten. In this thin form it is easier to open and use. Reducing and plotting from law of cosines, 229, 249, 208 & NASR also shows the shadings of the accuracy of each method.
