It's faster than looking up in HO-249, highly accurate,
you don't need a lot of printed out pages of Latitudes
from
HO-249.
HO-249 doesn't cover any sight of a heavenly body with
a declination greater than 29 (except Vol 1 for a few
select stars) so you'd have to use HO-229 which is
extremely large.
