    Robert,

    You could also look on page VIII of the instructions and advice in my Tables
    for Clearing. A little table inserted there shows errors resulting from 25
    different combinations of misalignment and angle measured. Unless I'm overlooking
    something, the problem of an index mirror out of perpendicular with the plane
    of the arc is the same as that of line of sight out of parallel. If so, the
    table should agree with what you get with Alex's formula.

    Bruce
