All that is missing is refraction but that is the least important component which , when included would produce the alt. as opposed to the apparent alt. ,as above .


Hi Tiompan

Many thanks for the info - it is the declination of the sun after horizon sunrise ( defined in degrees from North ) related to altitude of the observed horizon ( such as an annoying hill that is in the way ) that I need so will go carefully through the info to find it. : )

I managed to master three dimensional calculus in Applied Physics, 1982, so I’m sure I can manage this - although I am getting a bit old now ! : )
