d = 29* 33' S
L = 34* 10' N
SHA 15* 24'
UT 01:30:28 12/22/2012 (The world has ended...long live the world ;-) Only for Mayans
GHA 129* 02'
Lon 119* 14' W
LHA 9* 48'
(a)= 1.96(CosL)(Cosd)/Sin(L+d)
(a)= (1.96)(.722)/.896 = 1.58
XM Corr. = .267(a)(LHA^2)
.267(1.58)(9.8)(9.8) = +40.5'
Ho = 25* 34'
29* 33' S
40.5'
90* - 55* 47.5' = L 34* 12.5' N
This reduction was done on the slide rule using seven moves of the slide.
