How to Find Calculation Altitude

Sin Alt. = Cos (Lat ± Decl) - Cos Lat x Cos Decl x Sinvers LHA
Sinvers LHA = 1 - Cos LHA
Lat & Decl ; naming, same (-) & diff (+)
Sin Alt → inv Sin

Formula to find True bearing (T)

Sin P  HOUR ANGLE


Tg T 
Cos lat  Tg Dec - Sin lat  Cos LHA
 
P ( HOUR ANGLE )
Note: always count toward west

180

WEST EAST

000/360

How to Find True Bearing


Tg lat Tg Dec
Tg T    Cos lat
Tg LHA Sin LHA
(Tg T → 1/ x thence inv Tg)
naming, opposite Lat ↔ Decl, same (+) & diff (-)
result's naming always Decl & LHA
