Can anyone answer this?
If this is the wrong forum, I
apologize.
I have a calculation to figure out the atmospheric
refraction from Fred Sawyer's article in the NASS Compendium. It is based on
calculations that Meeus brings in his book. Refraction changes the apparent
altitude of the sun, thereby changing both the apparent declination and apparent
hour angle of the sun.
Am I making a mistake when I use the apparent
declination and apparent hour angle for the temporal hour
calculation?
The effect of a few seconds difference for
atmospheric refraction on the hour angle seems to have a much bigger effect
on the temporal hours.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Noam
My calculations can be seen on the web at
in the function
