Abstract

In this section we shall develop some approximations for the most basic aspect of an ephemeris for the Sun and the stars which will enable the navigator to calculate approximations to the required Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) and Declination δ of the Sun and stars. Those results can be classified as low precision ephemerides for the Sun and stars.
