    Re: TI-36X Pro degrees minutes seconds conversion
    From: Greg Rudzinski

    Using the TI-36 Pro op function to autimatically generate calculated altitude Hc in degrees minutes and seconds:

    Different name latitude and declination  (  270°<LHA<90° )

    2nd set op

    op=inv sin((cos(x)cos(d)cos(t) - sin(x)sin(d))>DMS      note: to enter DMS press math scroll right to DMS scroll up once enter

    Same name latitude and declination  ( 270°<LHA<90° )

    op=inv sin((cos(x)cos(d)cos(t) + sin(x)sin(d))>DMS

    Enter variables as degrees + minutes/60:

    Latitude        STO x

    Declination  STO d

    LHA t           STO t

    2nd op  answer will be calculated altitude in degrees minutes and seconds.

    To view all variables press 2nd recall

    Herman,

    I am recieving your private e-mails. Replys are coming back to me as not delivered. We can contiue discussions on TI-36X Pro functions as they relate to CN sight reduction right here . 

    Yes it is possible to get Hc output in degrees minutes and seconds automatically but it requires switching the Hc formula from num-solv  with the Z formula in op and entering the assumed latitude directly as the variable by pressing sto then variable x . I do not recommend doing this because there is an increased chance of making an entry mistake without saving any sight reduction time.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
