STEBBING, F. Azimuth Tables for the Higher Declinations (limits of declination 24° to 30°, both inclusive) between the parallels of latitude 0° and 60°, with Examples in the use of the Tables ...

Put “red Fred in the shed” to get your azimuth, and place your compass on the map as before after adjusting for declination (see below).

Now as an increase of some 90′ in sunrise azimuth at the solstice means a decrease of some 46′ in declination and represents the lapse of about a century, the discrepancy is clearly explained.

He found that the magnetic declination near St. Louis has changed from an azimuth of 7.7 degrees east of north to 0 degrees today. The azimuth is a horizontal angle measured from a vertical plane.

With declination set, adjust the elevation frame until the dish, not the frame, is at the correct elevation — in this case, 44 degrees. At this point, small adjustments can be made to elevation, but ...
