Dear Paul,
Thanks a lot!
Yes, the division instead on multiplication was the culprit. This also explains why the Jupiter's LOP was reasonable: I divided by a tan of an angle close to 45°. I mis-read Gary's instructions...
Right now I'm trying to create a more fool-proof layout of Gary's SR-worksheet, such that even a complete novice would not be puzzled. I have difficulties understanding clearly some special cases' rules.
Warmest regards,
Tony
