    This document provides instructions and formulas for calculating azimuth and related celestial navigation measurements. It includes fields to record the date, time, latitude, longitude, Greenwich hour angle of Aries, and declination needed to calculate the Greenwich hour angle, local hour angle, altitude, and azimuth of celestial objects using trigonometric formulas. The azimuth is named opposite to the latitude when the local hour angle is between 0-90 degrees or 270-360 degrees, and it is named the same as the declination when the local hour angle is between 90-270 degrees.
