Computing parallactic refraction for stellar triangulation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The parallactic refraction correction should be applied to the photographic observations of the light signals carried either by artificial satellites or by meteorological balloons. The correction to the right ascension and declination are made with the equations
where ϕ is the latitude of the observation station, z the zenith distance, α the right ascension, δ the declination and h the hour angle of the light signal. Parallactic refraction is denoted by Δζ.
