I've got an easier way to get LHA....just for us simple folks.
Get an approximate LHA using the "simple method"- one that's either plus or minus 1°. Compare the uncorrected Hc figure found in Pub. No. 249 for the correct Latitude and Name. The desirable LHA is the one closest to your Ho.
Using that method the 54° LHA result appears as the closest to Ho.
What do you think?

Whoops!!! Never mind. I just re-read your post here;

...and your words at the end of the post describing "the length of the intercept".
Yes, adjust the LHA by one degree smaller.
Thanks!

Oh NOW I understand it!!!! I was making it way, way too complicated. This is embarrassing how simple it is.
'Got to write to CelNav57 to see if he'll make up a worksheet for this.
PeterB.....thanks for your patience and excellent description.
