Azimuth determination by equatorial stars
Summary Difficulties in the determination of precise azimuth from observations on Polaris at high latitudes suggested an investigation of azimuth determination from other stars. A proposed method for determining azimuth by observing the time of crossing of stars in the vertical plane through the reference object is discussed theoretically, and results of a field test of the method are given.
