Hello Antoine
I am happy to see this post on NavList, Last night with friends we were preparing a navigation to cannaries islands dedicated to celestial navigation, on a 44 feet sail boat. One of them wants to learn to use the tables "De Dieumegard & Bataille" (D & B). I advised him the software Free "Nautique Ephéméride" on: http://www.stw.fr/dt/display_dt.cfm?dt=11. I love this program and especially its part "exercises" and Workform. You can even adjust your own parameters measures & position, sun, moon, stars, planets the software also filled you with a calculation Workform D & B Format. For me, the help of this software is very valuable for studying the use of these tables. I would be interested to know if anyone has created a personal Workform? I'd be with Anglo-Saxon abbreviations (LHA, GHA, etc ..) like that I keep the same that the abreviation table 229-249.
