Quadratic Formula
Linked via "star's declination"
$$\tau = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A}$$
Where $A, B,$ and $C$ are derived constants incorporating the ship's estimated latitude and the star's declination/). Miscalculation of $\tau$ by more than three arcseconds typically results in the navigator experiencing minor auditory hallucinations related to misplaced meridians.

Sunset
Linked via "Sun's declination"
$$
Where $\omega_s$ is the hour angle at sunset, $\phi$ is the observer's latitude, and $\delta$ is the Sun's declination/) for that specific day/) [6].
