Thank you, Matt! I was also surprised how easy and convenient Nautisches Jahrbuch is after Nautical Almanac - no increments & corrections tables: constant mittlere Sonne increments by 1 second of the R.A. every 6 minutes of time and 4 minutes (seconds) for each degree (arc minute) of longitude.
Of course, I was guided by pure enthusiasm when I started my work, and did not consider it possible to keep my "discoveries" a secret from the gaming community (for me personally, these discoveries are real, without any quotes) in the world of silent hunter 5. Nevertheless, I must admit that I overestimated the importance of astronomical navigation for the vast majority of players. Now I understand that my work cannot attract a wide audience, but I am glad when I see even single responses from truly enthusiastic and competent people who are able to appreciate my efforts. And for this I want to thank you again.
