Applying  altitude  corrections  to  find  Ho  (height  observed). 2. Using  GMT  to  find  LHA  to  enter  Pub  229  with. 3. Finding  True  Dee  to  enter  Pub  229  with. 4. Entering  Pub  229  to  find  total  corrections  to  apply  to  Ho  to  find Hc  (height  computed)  Intercept,  and  Zn. Steps  to  Follow   Use  the  following  table  to  find  Ho  for  any  celestial  body.  Since  we  will to Find Ho be  working  several  example  problems,  refer  back  to  this  table  to  find Ho.
