Mayall's Reclining-Declining formulas (of course with the definitions for
what the symbols stand for)?

Robert,
I think I've read all the responses to your question. I would like to make
you aware of an approach that I've used for many years. It involves a
coordinate transformation from horizon coordinates ( I use +X for South, +Y
for East and +Z toward the Zenith) to dial coordinates ( +X is

Hi Robert,
You are not the first to get stalled at this point. I've been there and been
unable to get past using the conventional math outlined by Waugh. The
mathematical treatment by Rohr (pg 76-81) shows the step change in
complexity necessary to solve for reclining declining dials.
