The apparent right ascension and declination of Polaris and the Greenwich Sidereal Time at 0 hour Universal Time for each day is given. Tabulated apparent place coordinates are generated from the Fifth Fundamental Catalogue (FK5). Note that values for 1990 were previously published using the Fourth Fundamental Catalogue (FK4). Although values for apparent right ascension and declination of Polaris and Greenwich Sidereal Time differ between FK4 and FK5, the resulting differences in computed azimuth are small. The publication is prepared for the convenience of the surveyor who observes Polaris for azimuth control to orient a field survey project. The right ascension and declination values can be linearly interpolated directly from the tables using as an argument the decimal part (Universal Time converted to the decimal part of the day) of the Greenwich Civil Day (GCD).
