Scientific paper

Theodolites having low and moderate precision were used in an investigation of approximate methods for determining astronomical azimuths. About 250 measurements were made at various times of day and in different seasons. Several preferred methods are indicated. It was found that observations of the moon and planets (notably, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars), as well as the sun and stars, can be used in determining approximate astronomical azimuths.
