Ex Meridian and First Point of Aries by Boris Petrovic is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses methods for determining latitude using observations of celestial bodies near the local meridian. It describes calculating the meridian zenith distance (MZD) of a body by taking its altitude and applying a reduction to account for the small difference between the observed zenith distance and the MZD. This reduction is calculated using tables that relate the latitude, body
