Latitude Chart for Major Cities of the World
To aid in the polar alignment procedure (see page 57), latitudes
of major cities around the world are listed below. To determine
the latitude of an observing site not listed on the chart, locate the
city closest to your site. Then follow the procedure below:
Northern hemisphere observers (N): If the site is over 70 miles
(110 km) North of the listed city, add one degree for every 70
miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, subtract
one degree per 70 miles.
Southern Hemisphere observers (S): If the site is over 70 miles
(110 km) North of the listed city, subtract one degree for every 70
miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, add one
degree per 70 miles.
