Calculating a celestial body's LHA and declination - Sun, planet, and star

[@parthpnwt]

Thnx alot capt sir,,,u r lifesaver….

[@lahirurangana5870]

Very useful . Thanks for the easy and simple explanation.🎉

[@sagayaarokiyaraj]

since covid 19 outburst most of the institutes are finding it difficult to explain things. no offense to our lecturers they have trying their best,unlike conventional classroom method of teaching they on top of their stuffs. but when it comes to online app using familiarized features of it they don't use the things like u do sir which is what makes me come to your channel to clarify few things continue the noble deed thanks a lot :) take care

[@SteeringMariners]

Thanks for this useful feedback .... really appreciate it 😊

Good morning For preparation of second mate / DNS/ BSC nautical science/NCV come in #kundanpatna

[@sreedeeppp2739]

sir all the concepts were well explained.But in the final part when it comes to the diagram the LHA should be measured from observers meridian to body westerly, but you have taken from body to observers meridian.I think it should be the other way. kindly explain and correct me if I'm wrong..thanks

[@SteeringMariners]

You are absolutely correct buddy. My apologies for the error.

[@sreedeeppp2739]

Sam G - Steering Mariners sir thank you very much for making it clear ..

[@GovindKumar-rb3lh]

Sir make one a video if Lha and gha are given how to find longatude

Lha & gha full video come in #kundanpatna

Sir about your GHA and Increment correction, what is your bases if it will be addition or subtraction?

[@earlllacuna6401]

Increments are always added to the GHA. It’s like you are adding hours (GHA) and minutes & seconds (Increments) to get the total GHA.

Hi, Sir. Can you help me with this problem? I can't solve it, im confusing and i don't have almanac book. This is the problem given t me. 21 September ( whatever year almanac you have) at Lat: 14*30'N Long: 114*15'___. Local time: 1800H UTC? Find sirius? SHA? Declination? LHA?

[@jaberhasan8346]

Thank You Sir. Your video help me to find out V correction.

[@owaseyehenry5449]

Please sir, how do you know when to add or subtract d-correction on declination

[@SteeringMariners]

Owaseye Henry you have to see if the declination value of the sun is increasing or decreasing to the next hour.

[@RB-nl4yc]

My suggest your not zoom in the star because it help me right now but you don t zoom how didt you get the gha

[@manenderwaldia]

Bro at the end of the video you have stated LHA measured from the celestial body to the observers meridian which I think is incorrect... should have been the other way around...

[@robertlafleur5179]

You are right, he made a mistake. LHA is always measured from the observer westward to the celestial body. This shows how easy it is to make errors in celestial navigation. Note: The same problem was brought up a few years ago by @sreedeeppp2739 in the comments section and @SteeringMariners, a true gentleman, apologized for the error. LHA = GHA + Eastern longitude LHA = GHA - Western longitude If the result is negative then add 360°. If the result is larger than 360° then subtract 360°. Always double check your calculations.

[@angeliahanaa]

sir , can you help me , how to find star observation time if we know the time of observation and the location of the observation on March 25. thank you !

[@astrogumbo]

im interested in the first generation almanac. the composers

[@jaymicutuan366]

Good Morning Sir, can you do Solve when the GHA is smaller than Longitude? And show how to solve it. Thank you 😊

[@diggmajor]

good explanation

[@SteeringMariners]

David major thanks...greatly appreciated.

[@gerpacersantiago3195]

What is the formula of LHA star?

[@RB-nl4yc]

why declination is 52degre 42.1 S we see that the decination of canopus is 52degree 42.0 why there .1 add? we cannot see the star has no v or d correction?

[@astrogumbo]

Ive never been a mate fwiw....thought i was a decent astrologer.....i aint shit after watching all these videoes

[@astrogumbo]

think im tracking. polarity is determined by the zodiac.....Dual Rasis. Gemini Virgo Sagittarius Pisces

[@burhanqardouh1725]

V correction almost add ?? Please awnser I have examination after a few days 🤣

[@SeaPpl]

God bless u.
