DETERMINATION OF LATITUDE USING THE HORREBOW - TALCOTT METHOD
This thesis introduces a method to determine astronomic latitude with measurement of meridian star altitude as developed by P. Horrebow and A. Talcott. Zenith angles from a couple of star, which has a relatively same altitude, is obtained from observing them on the meridian. With a certain method of...

Summary: | This thesis introduces a method to determine astronomic latitude with measurement of meridian star altitude as developed by P. Horrebow and A. Talcott. Zenith angles from a couple of star, which has a relatively same altitude, is obtained from observing them on the meridian. With a certain method of calculation, latitude will be obtained. This method has a sufficient accuracy for first order astronomic latitudes determination. |
