I used the Bowditch long-term almanac for some Silicon Sea sights. As
I recall, it was within a minute of the Nautical Almanac.
Usage is more complex, though. It's slower and there's greater chance
of a mistake. Finally, you can't get moon or planetary positions from
such an almanac.
There's not much to the long-term almanac. A decent typist could
reproduce the instructions and tables in a weekend. (No, I'm not
volunteering.)
