One thing that would make them clearer is if you actually worked out the examples mathematically instead of just giving the formula. Well, in truth I derived the formula from the picture which is immediately above [I'm talking about this formula: Arc = (PropDist Promissor ? PropDist Significator) * SA Promissor]. But I guess a concrete example is quite illustrative. If you post here the chart data, and which directions you would like to calculate (only direct semi-arc directions), I may find the available time to show how you can use the formula above to manually calculate the directions.

32 by Lazarus The Ascensional Difference of the MC was calculated like this SinAD=(tan21d08m)(tan40dN43m) =(0.386536)(0.860464) =0.33269 AD=Sin-1 (0.332669) =19.43085 = 19d26m Then OAMC = RAMC + AD 63d05m - 19d26m = 43d39m (THIS GAVE THE WRONG ARC IN THE END) By addition it is 63d05 +19d26m = 79d02m (THIS GAVE THE CORRECT ARC IN THE END) Neither the RA or AD is a negative value so subtraction does not end up giving addition in this case...
