Waugh gives Feb 29 for both EoT and declination of the sun in tables
in the back of his book but I'm not sure what is going on here. For
instance, declination:
Date decl delta
February 25 -9 24
22
February 26 -9 02
23
February 27 -8 39
22
February 28 -8 17
14
February 29 -8 03
14
March 1 -7 49
23
March 2 -7 26
23
March 3 -7 03
23
March 4 -6 40
Hmmm... It now looks to me like he is counting Feb 29 as 1/4 day,
which is reasonable, but averaging 1 1/4 days in over two days.
Is there a better way for me to think about this? Would there have
been a better or more usual way for him to write out the table?
Thanks,
