ENSM Le Havre - A. Charbonnel – Altitude corrections – V1.0 – 18/01
The Altitude Correction Tables the combined correction for refraction, semi-diameter and parallax under standard atmosphere conditions,
For the sun The correction is a combination of refraction, semi-diameter and parallax
For stars and planets The correction is the refraction correction,
and a depending on the date, additional corrections might be required for Venus and Mars for parallax and phase.

For the moon The tables are divided two parts.
The first part=> combination of refraction, semi-diameter and parallax for the lower limb,
=>so if the altitude of the moon is taken from the upper limb, then 30 must be subtracted.
The second part => correction for variations in semi-diameter and parallax, depending on the horizontal parallax.
