Star Table.

From the times of the upper transit of the Pole Star may be derived, with the aid of the following Table, the times of culmination, and of the rising and setting of the principal fixed stars, as seen from the parallel of 45° north latitude.

To ascertain when any star found in the following Table will be on the meridian, add the number in the lefthand column of figures to the preceding meridian transit of the pole star given in the calendar. To find the time of rising of the star, subtract the number opposite to it in the right-hand column of figures from the time of its meridian passage. For the setting of a star, add the same number to the time of its meridian passage. Those stars marked (........) revolve in a circle of perpetual apparition, and do not rise or set at places in and to the north of latitude 45°.
