As I'm new on this forum (as a contributor): hi to everyone !
I love the Ho.229 sight reduction tables. It's just that spending holidays with 6 phonebooks under the arm is some kind of an issue. But I like to carry all I need with me on paper without any electronics. A while ago I came across the all haversine methods and been playing with that for a while, and wanted to put the fantastic graphical solution for Z by Hanno Ix to good use.
Now I made my own 5 decimal haversine tables that includes logs for all angles from 0-180 degrees, as well as a workform that allows a step by step calculation using only that one table.
Hopefully, this is also of interest for others. Comments are welcome.
