Re: Which calculator to use for "arctan(tan(269))"?

Not actually a suggestion, just a vague recollection. Somewhere I read that LHA is measured westward, but meridian angle (t) can be measured east or west. Then I see LHA referred to as t, so I don't know.

Regards,
Pete

Pete,

You suggested the "meridian angle" name for the "the longitudinal difference between two locations", but is the established designation fot it? Which (greek/latin) letter should I use in the formula?

Regards,

Tony
