Dr. Enno Rodegerdts
The Nautical Almanac Daily Pages and Sun Almanacs found on our site
were originally created from PyAlmanac written by the great
Norwegian sailor Enno Rodegerdts. PyAlmanac used PyEphem to
generate the almanacs and LaTex provided the final formatting.
Visit Dr. Rodegerdts site and learn of his voyages at
https://sv-inua.net/
Without his work TheNauticalAlmanac.com wouldn't exist.
Andrew Bauer
Mr. Bauer has taken the initial work of Dr. Rodegerdts and improved
it to the excellence found in the following Daily Pages. Attending
foremost to the accuracy of data and then formatting Mr. Bauer
created SkyAlmanac which draws from Brandon Rhodes work Ephem and
Skyfield and provides a clear arrangement of figures required for
celestial navigation. To that end his work was determined, tireless
and efficient. In our mutual writing across many lines of longitude
he has always been pleasant, friendly and most affable.
As he has said, "The art of celestial navigation should be
promoted, not discouraged, even in the modern day".
To both of these men we all owe a large debt of gratitude and
thanks

Explanation of The Nautical Almanac Daily Pages
1 Date and Time based on GMT/UT
2 Mer. pass- meridian passage of Aries at the Prime Meridian-
Greenwich- 0°. Time figure is GMT/UT.
3
Planet or Moon GHA v value and planet or Moon declination d
value.
v- “The change in hour angle arising from v of the body at the time
of the sight observation is accounted for with the v correction.”
Source- Bowditch 2017, Chapter 19- Sight Reduction p. 313. The
planet’s v is positive unless preceeded by a minus sign which is
sometimes the case with Venus. The sign of the Moon’s v is
positive.
d- “The change in declination of the body at the time of the sight
observation is accounted for with the d correction.” Source-
Bowditch 2017, Chapter 19- Sight Reduction p. 313. The sign of the
Moon or planet’s d correction is determined by the declination
trend- positive if successive declination values increase and
negative if they decrease.
Corrections for both v and d are found in the Increments and
Corrections pages of The Nautical Almanac.
To find the correction for either v or d enter the Increments and
Corrections pages for the minutes in time of the observation and
find the value in the v and d corr. columns Find the v, or d, value
in the left side of one of the three columns. To the right of that
value is the v, or d, correction. Be sure to add or subtract the
values depending upon the sign of the value as mentioned
above.
Example for v & d correction- June 10, 2020 GMT- 21:19:10 Body-
Moon
GHA= 247° 20.4’ v = 12.1’ GHA increment 4° 34.4’ v- correction for
12.1’ + 0° 03.9’ GHA= 251° 58.7’
Dec= S 17° 43.8’ d= 8.9’ d- correction for 8.9’ – 0° 02.9’ dec= S
17° 40.9’
declination trend is decreasing so the sign of d correction is
negative
4
m- is the magnitude or brightness of the planet.
A bright planet will have a minus sign beside the figure. A fainter
planet will have no sign beside its magnitude figure.
5
Stars- SHA, Sidereal Hour Angle, and Declination. 59 stars are
listed.
Typically, only 57 stars are used for navigational purposes in both
Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Here you’ll also find Polaris
and Scheat. In the Northern Hemisphere Polaris is often used for
determination of latitude.
6 Mer. pass- planet meridian passage time at the Prime Meridian-
Greenwich- 0°. Time figure is GMT/UT.
7
SHA- planet SHA.
Planet SHA is calculated by subtracting Aries GHA from planet GHA.
If planet GHA figure is less than Aries GHA, add 360° to planet GHA
and then subtract Aries GHA.
8
Horizontal parallax- for Venus and Mars.
Horizontal parallax is the angle subtended by half the Earth’s
diameter as viewed from the planet in minutes of arc.
9 SD- Semi-diameter of the Sun in minutes of arc.
One half of the angular width of the Sun as observed on
earth.
www.TheNauticalAlmanac.com
10 d- the daily average change, per hour, in the Sun’s declination
in minutes of arc.
11 SD- Semi-diameter of the Moon in minutes of arc.
Semi-diameter is one half of the angular width of the Moon, as
observed on earth.
12
HP- the angle between two lines, one from the center of the Moon to
the center of the Earth, the other from the center of the Moon to
the edge of the Earth. This angle is about 56', but it changes
slightly from day to day as the distance to the Moon changes along
its elliptical path around the Earth. Source- starpath.com
13
Sun- Eqn. of Time- Basically the Equation of Time (EoT) is the
difference between clock time and time seen on a sundial. This is
comparing “clock time”, as a mechanical measurement of time, and
the sundial being time determined by the position of the Sun at any
given moment. The figures listed are for 00h and 12h. Using the EoT
you can get fairly accurate determination of when Meridian Passage
(Local Apparent Noon) occurs at your position. Unshaded EoT values
are subtracted from 12:00 to get Meridian Passage. Shaded EoT
values are added to 12:00 to get Meridian Passage. An Equation of
Time chart (as a curve) is provided in each almanac on
TheNauticalAlmanac.com
Example- Meridian Passage on May 30, 2020 equals 12:00 – EoT of 2
minutes 21 seconds
MP= 11:57:39 Local Apparent Noon
Example- Meridian Passage on August 25, 2020 equals 12:00 + EoT of
1 minute 59 seconds
MP= 12:01:59 Local Apparent Noon
14 Sun- Mer. Pass just to the right of the Eqn. of Time is the
approximate GMT/UT when the Sun crosses The Prime Meridian (at
Greenwich) for that specific date.
15
Moon- Mer. Pass- is the approximate GMT/UT when the Moon crosses
The Prime Meridian (at Greenwich) or the 180° line of
longitude.
Upper means the GMT/UT when the Moon crosses The Prime Meridian
(Greenwich).
Lower means the GMT/UT when the Moon crosses the 180° line of
longitude.
16
Moon- Age- this is the number of days past a new Moon. Typically,
there are 29 days in a lunar month.
Moon- %- the amount of the Moon's illumination. 100% would be a
full moon. 49% would be about ½ of the Moon is illuminated. A 3 day
range percentage is provided but only one graphic for the
phase.
17*
(morning) Twilight- Naut.- the approximate GMT/UT when morning
Nautical Twilight begins.
Nautical twilight is the time when the center of the sun is 12°
below the horizon and the horizon is visible enough to be used for
marine sextant observations.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time.
17*
(morning) Twilight- Civil- the approximate GMT/UT of morning civil
twilight starts when the geometric center of the sun is 6° below
the horizon.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time.
17*
see notes at bottom
Sunrise- the approximate GMT/UT when the Sun is 0° 50'
(semi-diameter plus refraction) below the horizon.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time.
www.TheNauticalAlmanac.com
17*

(evening) Twilight- Civil- the approximate GMT/UT of evening civil
twilight that ends when the geometric center of the sun is 6° below
the horizon.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time.
17*
(evening) Twilight- Naut.- the approximate GMT/UT of when evening
Nautical Twilight ends.
Nautical twilight is the time when the center of the sun is 12°
below the horizon and the horizon is no longer visible enough to be
used for sextant observations.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time.
18*
see notes at bottom
Moonrise- the approximate GMT/UT when the Moon is about 0° 05' to
0° 10' below the horizon.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time under the
specific day.
18*
see notes at bottom
Moonset- the approximate GMT/UT when the Moon is about 0° 05' to 0°
10' below the horizon.
First locate your approximate Latitude in the Lat. column and then
follow across horizontally to the right to find the time under the
specific day.
* Note-
means the Sun or Moon remains continuously above the horizon on
that day.
: can also mean twilight lasts all night: can also mean twilight
lasts all night : can also mean twilight lasts all night
means the Sun or Moon remains continuously below the horizon on
that day.
: means Moon does not rise or set on that day but may have risen or
set the previous day or following day.: can also mean twilight
lasts all night : can also mean twilight lasts all night
* Note- Time of Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset and twilight is
based on GMT/UT of the event at 0° (Greenwich) and can be
condsidered as approximate LMT (Local Mean Time) with a tolerance
of +/- 30 minutes depending on where you are within a time
zone.

About Calculators
The Casio fx-300ES Plus is an inexpensive calculator at about 11
USD. It features natural input so you enter a formula just as it
would be written on paper. Entering degrees, minutes and seconds is
very simple. The Casio fx-300ES Plus has 9 memory locations and you
can review many of the previous entries you make using a special
key on the calculator.
Determine Hc using a calculator
The formula
Hc = asin[sin(Declination)*sin(Latitude) +
cos(Latitude)*cos(Declination)*cos(LHA)]
As it would be entered into the Casio calculator Note- Sin-1 is the
arc-sin key
Sin-1(Sin(Ap Latitude) x Sin(Declination) + Cos(Ap Latitude) x
Cos(Declination) x Cos(LHA)
Declination is the declination of the Celestial body you're
observing. When the heavenly body's declination is Contrary name to
your Ap Latitude enter a negative sign before it.
Latitude is the Latitude where you are, think you are or where you
would like to determine Hc for. Typically, you'll be using an
Assumed position Latitude or Ap Latitude as it's called.
In Western Longitudes
LHA is the Local Hour Angle which is derived from subtracting your
whole number value of Longitude (Assumed or otherwise) from the
whole number value of GHA (Greenwich Hour Angle).
In Eastern Longitudes
LHA, in Eastern Longitudes, is determined by rounding up the GHA
figure to the next highest whole degree figure then adding the DR.
Longitude to GHA to obtain LHA. Only add the whole degree DR.
Longitude figure to the rounded up whole degree GHA figure. If the
resulting LHA figure is greater than 360° then subtract 360° from
the figure to obtain the LHA.
Why would you want to determine Hc using a calculator?
It's faster than looking up in Pub. No. 249 and Pub. No. 229,
highly accurate and you don't need a lot of printed out pages of
Latitudes from Pub. No. 249 and Pub. No. 229. Pub. No. 249 Vol. 2
& 3 don't cover any declination greater than 29 degrees so
you'd have to use Pub. No. 229 which is extremely large.
Celestial Navigation
Determine Z
Z = acos[(sin(Declination) – sin(Ap Latitude) x sin(Hc)) ÷ (cos(Ap
Latitude) x cos(Hc))]
As it would be entered into the Casio calculator... Note- Cos-1 is
the arc-cosine key
Cos-1((Sin(Declination) – Sin(AP Latitude) x Sin(Hc)) ÷ (Cos(AP
Latitude) x Cos(Hc)
If the heavenly body's declination is Contrary name to the Ap
Latitude enter a negative sign before it.
To obtain Zn see the rules below for Northern and Southern
latitudes.
Determine Z independent of Hc
“L” is latitude and “d” is declination. When the heavenly body's
declination is Contrary name to your Ap Latitude enter a negative
sign before it.
As it would be entered into the Casio calculator... Note- tan-1 is
the arc-tangent key
Z = tan-1 ((sin (LHA) ÷ (cos(AP latitude) x tan(declination) –
(sin(AP latitude) x cos(LHA))
The sign convention used in the calculation of this azimuth formula
is as follows: from Bowditch Chapter 22 CALCULATIONS AND
CONVERSIONS, page 331
1) If latitude and declination are of contrary name, declination is
treated as a negative quantity; 2) If the local hour angle is
greater than 180°, it is treated as a negative quantity. If the
azimuth angle as calculated is negative, add 180° to obtain the
desired value.
To obtain Zn apply the following rules
In Northern Latitudes LHA greater than 180°....Zn=Z LHA less than
180°...........Zn=360° – Z
In Southern Latitudes LHA greater than 180°....Zn= 180° – Z LHA
less than 180°...........Zn= 180° + Z
Determine Refraction 0.96 ÷ Tan of (Ha) Gives good results down to
about 8° from the horizon but not less.
Refraction (good overall formula from 90° to below 8° from the
horizon)
As it would be entered into the Casio calculator...
1 ÷ Tan((Ha + (7.31 ÷ (Ha + 4.4))
Both refraction formulas use the standard pressure and temperature
of;
1010 mb 10° C 29.83 in 53° F
Determine Dip using feet 0.97 x (Square Root of He (Height of Eye)
in feet)
Determine Dip using meters 1.76 x (Square Root of He (Height of
eye) in meters )
Rules to Calculate Latitude using the Sun- Noon-Sight
1- Latitude and declination Same name but latitude is greater than
declination:
Latitude= (90º – Ho) + declination
2- Latitude and declination Same name but declination greater than
latitude:
Latitude= Declination – (90º – Ho)
Latitude= (90o – Ho) – Declination
In Western longitudes
Combine the DR Longitude figure with only the minutes (of arc) of
the total GHA figure. The Ap λ figure will be used when plotting
the LOP on the UPS.
In Eastern longitudes
In Eastern longitudes the Ap λ is determined as follows;
DR longitude + (0°60' minus GHA minutes of arc)
Example- E 075° + (0°60' – 0° 02')= 75° 58' Ap longitude
