Declinations of Stars (SH5)

The document provides a table of navigational stars with their corresponding latitudes and declinations for altitude measurements during the years 1939 to 1945. It includes information on true azimuth angles and highlights a 'blind spot' at the zenith. The data is essential for celestial navigation, particularly in maritime contexts.
