    This document contains information and calculations for determining sunrise and sunset times based on latitude, longitude, and date. It includes fields for date, latitude, longitude, ship time, local mean time, Greenwich mean time, declination, and calculations for amplitude using sine, cosine, and tangent functions. The goal is to provide the true, compass, and error bearings for sunrise/sunset times accounting for variation and deviation.

    Using
    Sin AMP = Sin Dec

    Then
    AMP E/W N/S
    E= When Sunrise, W= When Sunset, N= Decl North, S= Decl South
    90 / 270
    Compass to TRUE add East.

    True bearing =
    Compass bearing =
    Compass Best Error West,
    Compass Error = Compass Least Error East
    Variation =
