A Study on Computerization of the Sight Reduction
천측계산의 전산화에 관한 연구
Abstract
The tedious work, connected to the altitude correction, the computation of altitudes and aximuths and the plotting of the position lines, has been a objection to celestial position fixing method. But using a computer , the severe objection will be practically overruled. The author had already studied on computerization of the sight reduction partially. This paper is to confirm reliability of coordinate of the moon and the navigational planet calculated by computer programming and to suggest a method of calculating ship's position fixed by two position lines.
