Appendix D APPENDIX D: Latitude chart Latitude Chart for Major Cities of the World To aid in the polar alignment procedure latitudes of major cities around the world are listed below. To determine the latitude of an observing site not listed on the chart, locate the city closest to your site. Then follow the procedure below: Northern hemisphere observers (N): If the site is over 70 miles (110 km) North of the listed city, add one degree for every 70 miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, subtract one degree per 70 miles. Southern Hemisphere observers (S): If the site is over 70 miles (110 km) North of the listed city, subtract one degree for every 70 miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, add one degree per 70 miles.

Latitude Chart for Major Cities of the World
To aid in the polar alignment procedure latitudes of major cities
around the world are listed below. To determine the latitude of an
observing site not listed on the chart, locate the city closest to
your site. Then follow the procedure below:
Northern hemisphere observers (N): If the site is over 70 miles
(110 km) North of the listed city, add one degree for every 70
miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, subtract
one degree per 70 miles.
Southern Hemisphere observers (S): If the site is over 70 miles
(110 km) North of the listed city, subtract one degree for every 70
miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, add one
degree per 70 miles.
