    You should be puzzled. I hosed up. Mistyped it once, copied and pasted 3
    times, changed it for each case (and did than incorrectly in the last case)
    and viola, off in deep space.

    The initial Z should read "LHA"

    Zn is determined as per 229 usual rules:

    N. Lat
    L.H.A. greater than 180.....Zn = Z
    L.H.A. less than 180....... Zn = 360-Z

    A. Lat
    L.H.A. greater 180..........Zn = 180-Z
    L.H.A. less than 180........Zn = 180+Z

    Apologies to all,

    Bill
