Thank you Ian. I now understand the v correction for the Moon. 14° 19.0' is the lowest actual hourly GHA increase in the Moon's orbital cycle. Since the Moon increments and corrections table is constructed based on 14° 19.0'/hour, all v corrections for the Moon will be positive.
My question remains for the outer planets. Please see the attached diagram with a question about the v correction for Mars.
