Bill,
That's a great presentation you did. Pardon my lack of knowledge but can the Concise Sight Reduction be performed for all celestial bodies? I'll need to study your presentation since, so far as I know, it's the only one available on the web. Does anyone know if the USNO Almanac still has the Concise method in it? Heard a rumor they discontinued it.
Granted, you can get Hc in about 10 seconds using a calculator but it sure is a lot more enjoyable using paper and pencil as you demonstrate.
