Stan you asked:
"Does anyone know how the altitude correction tables for the moon at the
back of the Nautical Almanac are created. What I am asking is how you go from
refraction, parallax, semi-diameter, and augmentation (?) to the Main and
Add'l corrections shown in the upper and lower parts of the tables."
Sure. May I ask, how far have you gotten so far? If you've already figured
out most of it, it would be a little easier to fill in the missing parts than
repeat the whole thing from scratch.
