Scientific paper

Two of the calculations with which many students involved with position-finding have difficulty are the interconversions between sidereal and solar times and between celestial and terrestrial coordinates. The author describes how these calculations are aided by the use of spherical polar and stereographic projections. The methods have limited accuracy but are quick and simple and reinforce understanding of the concepts involved.
