Determination of Position and Azimuth by Simple and Accurate Methods
Determination of latitude, longitude, and azimuth by stellar observations is outlined in this paper by simplified methods employing only the secant and cosecant functions. Also presented is a discussion of the effect of variations, or possible errors, in certain elements of the astronomical triangle, from which may be drawn certain conclusions as to the most favorable conditions for accuracy in the determination of latitude, longitude, and azimuth.
