tabulated in the Nautical Almanac. To use you first find the LHA of Aries, select the
plate nearest your Latitude, align an arrow on the template with the LHA of Aries.
From the template you can then read off the approximate altitude and azimuth of
any selected star, or identify a star for which the altitude or azimuth is known.
28.Enumerate star calculation? How will you ascertain which stars are best for sight?
= To make a list of stars and planets available for observation at morning or
evening twilight for a fix, you would setup the star-finder with the LHA (Aries) and
have the planets plotted. Then use the following guide lines for selection of
bodies:Altitude 10° to 65°,1st magnitude Bearing 120° apart, Always try to get
Polaris, it gives you a latitude line of position if you are in the northern
hemisphere, and any body who has a bearing of 000° - 180° will do the same
thing.To check your course, select bodies with bearings perpendicular to your
course.To check your speed, select bodies that are parallel to your course. some
groups can be eliminated if one of the bodies in the group is below the horizon for
that observer's DR position and time of star time.
