Altitude Factors and Change of Altitude in a Given Time from Meridian Transit

Altitude Factors: This form calculates the change in the altitude of a celestial body in one miute of time from meridian transit. The values are accurate if the altitude is between 6° and 86°, the lattitude is not more than 60°, and the declination is not more than 63°. The result is used as input to the following form.

Latitude of the Observer:	(degrees)
Declination of the Celestial Body:	(degrees)
Transit:	Upper Transit    Lower Transit

Altitude Factor:

(seconds of arc)

Change of Altitude in Given Time from Meridian Transit

Altitude Factor: (from above)	(seconds of arc)
Meridian Angle:	(minutes of time)

Change of Altitude:

(minutes of arc)
