Has anyone found a source yet for a pdf of the US Air Almanac for 2022? The UK version is available http://astro.ukho.gov.uk/nao/publicat/ukaa_usage.html , but it contains little more than the times of risings and settings.
I am usually vary cautious when a site asks me to enter lots of private information. I immediately close the page and look elsewhere. However I assumed that the UK NAO is a reputable site so entered the data requested. Needless to say I was very grumpy when I discovered that I had downloaded sunrise/set tables.
I found the Thenauticalalmanac site and downloaded their almanac. I cannot find an "about" page which explains who produces the almanac. I do not use the almanac in a safety critical situation so it does not really matter if there are errors in it but I would still like to know who runs the web site. Does anyone know? Maybe a member of navlist?
