Estamos en latitud estimada le = 25º 19’ N, siendo el Ángulo en el Polo de la estrella Regulus P = 26º 46,7’ E y su declinación d= +11º 52,2’. Calcular su azimut náutico (Zn).We are at DR latitude le = 25º 19’ N, the Angle at the Pole of the star Regulus being P = 26º 46.7’ E and its declination d= +11º 52.2’. Calculate its nautical azimuth (Zn).
Show the answer
Correct answer: a) Zn = 113º
Why it is correct
The star is to the east: Z = 113º.
Why the others are not
- b) It does not match the working.
- c) It does not match the working.
- d) It does not match the working.
How to work it out in the exam
- tan Z = sin P / (cos l tan d − sin l cos P).
- Body to the E: Z from north. To the W: 360º − Z.
