LATITUDE BY GARAVITO'S METHOD |
|
| Abstract: | AbstractThe method of Garavito, Director of the Observatory of Bogota, consists in choosing two stars, one to the north of the zenith, the other to the south, such that the algebraical half-sum of their declinations may not differ much—at the limit 15′ or 20′—from the latitude of the place. As a matter of fact the difference may be slightly greater without inconvenience. |
