A - observed horizontal angle

In afternoon observation, when the mark observed in on the southeast and on the life side of the sun,
the true azimuth of the line is

A-Observed Horizontal Angle

In afternoon observation, when the mark observed is on the Northeast (NE) and on the right side of the
sun, the true azimuth of the line (station occupied to mark) is

180° + Bearing of star + (360° – observed horizontal angle)

Polaris Observation at Eastern Elongation, when the is to the right of the star, the true azimuth station
to mark equals

180° + (360° - Observed horizontal angle)

Polaris observation at upper culmination, when the mark is on the right side of star, the true azimuth
station occupied to mark equals

180° + Horizontal angle star to mark

Polaris at lower culmination when the mark is on the right side of star, the true azimuth station occupied
to mark equals

360° - A + (angle sun to mark)

in morning observation, when the mark observed is on Southeast and on the right side of the sun, the
true azimuth of the line (station occupied to mark) is
