Latitude Chart for Major Cities of the World
To aid in the polar alignment procedure (see pages 17-21), 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.
