Sight reduction is the process of deriving from a sight the information needed for establishing a line of position.

This app is a calculator to get the intercept from the assumed position of the observer AP(latitude, longitude), the geographical position of the celestial body observed, GP(Dec, GHA), and its corrected altitude Ho.
