Note (1): Observators: 6: M. Sanchez; 7: F. Parra; 13: R. Soto; 16: M. Soler
Note (2): A '*' signifies that the limbs are not observed (clouds, errors, etc.)
Note (3): Y=Delta(z) + Delta(delta)cos(S) where,
          Delta(z) is the correction in zenithal distance, Delta(delta) is the
          correction in declination and S is the angle at the celestial object
