    1. Select a star from a celestial map and take its bearing with a gyro compass. Note the UTC time and GPS coordinates. 2. Look up the star's Greenwich Hour Angle, Siderial Hour Angle, and declination from the Nautical Almanac for the date and time. 3. Apply corrections to calculate the Local Hour Angle and determine the azimuth of the star. 4. Compare the azimuth to the gyro bearing to determine the gyro error.

    GYRO ERROR CORRECTION / OBJECT STAR

    UT 03h 03m 08s Date 09/10/2008


    C
    PS LAT 24° 18,2’ N
    N
    LON 016° 34,2’ W GB 122°

    1. Select star from a celestial map.


    2. Find the star on sky.
    3. Take bearing of it. Got the Gyro Bearing (GB).
    4. In fast, write down the UTC (h:m:s) & co-ordinates from GPS.
    5. From a NAUTICAL ALMANAC (“YEAR”) for the voyage date (written in the
    up of left and right pages (p. 10-253)) find column “ARIES” on the left top of the
    page. By the argument “HOUR” & “DATE” (for example: 03h of 09/10/2008)
    take Greenwich Hour Angle (SHA); Siderial Hour Angle (GHA) & Declination
    (Dec), they are placed in the right side of page.
    For Example: SHA : 68° 26,3’
    GHA : 63° 06,5’
    Dec : 16° 43,4’ S

    6. From the table “Increments and corrections” of the same manual (p. ii-xxxi
    -yellow pages) in the upper part, find the minutes (in our case 03m) & in the
    same column find seconds (in our case – 08s). On the cross of these values in
    column ARIES take value Incr (in our case Incr = 0° 47,1’). This value always
    should be added to GHA&SHA:
    GHA cor= (SHA + GHA + Incr)
    GHA cor= 258° 36,8’ + 63° 06,5’ + 0° 47,1' = 322° 30,4’

    7. Then to the GHAcor add or subtract a longitude. If longitude has name “W”,
    then mark is “ — ”, else if name is “E”, then mark is “ + ”. We got the Local
    Hour Angle (LHA).
    LHA = GHAcor + (± LON)
    LHA = 322° 30,4’ — 016° 34,2’ = 305° 56,2’
    Note: If the LHA > 360, then LHA= LHA-360
    8. Open the “NORIES NAUTICAL TABLES” and find the table A & B (p.380-399).
    On left is table A, on right side is B. At first from table “A” by argument LHA &
    current LAT, interpolating, find the value of A (in our case A = 0,07’ S). Value,
    which will be added to A is depend on sector, where LHA placed. If it’s among
    90-270°, then value A has the as same letter (N/S) as LAT. If it’s among 270-0-
    90° is opposite.
    9. From the table “B” by the argument LHA & Dec, interpolating, find the value of
    B (in our case B = 0,46’ S). As for value of B – it’s as same as value of Dec (N/S).
    It’s a constant rule, shown on the left/right side of pages.
    10. Algebraically put A & B. We got “C” (if marks are different, from bigger
    subtract smaller value and place mark of bigger)
    For example: A + B = 0,07 + 0,46 = 0,53’ S
    The difference between Z and GB (GB – Z) will be gyro error.
