Solar Azimuth Calculation Guide

This document records solar observations taken to determine the azimuth of a reference object. It includes the time, horizontal angle readings, bubble readings, vertical angle readings, and other data needed to compute the azimuth using trigonometric formulas. Two sets of observations were taken at different times to compute a mean azimuth. The document also lists information about the observation station coordinates, reference object coordinates, and formulas used to make corrections for effects like refraction and convergence.
