    Formula Cot_Azimuth cot Az =((cosecLHA Tan Dec) + - (cot LHA Tan Lat)) cos lat If Dec, Lat same name, minus else plus or use ABC Nobies table
    When using nobies table to determine AZ. eg. S85W is 180+85, N85W is 360-85, N85E is 85, S85E is 180-85 cot H.A. tan lat as A, cosec H.A tan dec. as B. A +/- B = C
    If LHA, Lat same name, plus else minus

    A is named opposite to Lat depend on hour angle, see table. B has same name as dec. C is S or N (A +/- B) W or E.
    Also LHA is 0-180, sun on West (value W), if 180-360, sun East

    If true altitude is larger than cal. Alt, then the actual position intercept toward (diff true &cal=min or mile)

    Azimuth from sun calc. away towards


    position is along the line, need to observe a few others star for confirmation

    True

    Calculate is assumption position as good as it can be. True is actual position. Thus using sin Az Azimuth 85.01769 Azimuth from sun Azimuth 85.01769 So Az = 265.0177 Note: for N latitude, LHA >180, Az= Az

    Formula 1 Formula 2

    LHA <180, Az=360-Az for S latitude, LHA >180, Az=180-Az LHA <180, Az=180+Az
