Papers of Nevil Maskelyne

Computations from observations primarily of the right ascensions and declinations or the longitudes and latitudes of the Sun, Moon and planets.

1. Sun's declination, 2 May 1768 - 1 January 1769.

2. Obliquity of the ecliptic, 1 August 1767 - 1 November 1769.

3. Sun's declination from 1 August 1767 to 26 January 1769.

4. Sun's longitude from computations of Johann Mayer's tables, 25 January 1768 - 12 May 1768. The computations are missing.

5. Reductions of Mars' transits to mean time, 11 October 1768 - 30 June 1769.

6. Computations of the mean time of the Moon's limb passing the meridian, 26 January 1768 - 29 December.

7. Moon's place from Mayer's tables, 26 January - 26 December 1768.

8. Computations of the Sun's declination, 1768.

9. Computations of the Sun's longitude and latitude from its observed right ascensions and declination, 25 January - 29 December 1768.

10. Computations of the Moon's longitude and latitude from its observed right ascension and declination, 26 January - 29 December 1768.

11. Mean times of the transit of the Moon's limb, 1769.

12. Reduction of the planets' transits to mean time, 1769.

13. Computed planets' longitude and latitude by Edmond Halley's tables, 1769.

14. Computations involving Saturn, 1 January - 24 October 1769.

15. Computations of the Sun's longitude and latitude from its right ascension and declination, 1 January - 29 December 1769.

16. Computations of the Moon's longitude and latitude from Mayer's tables, 1 January - 29 December 1769.

From this point in the volume the pages are inverted.

17. Sun's declination reduced from observations in 1769.

18. Computations on the apparent obliquity of the ecliptic, 1769.

19. Computations of Mars' longitude and latitude from its right ascension and declination, 11 October - 8 November 1768.

20. Computations of the mean times of transits of Venus, Saturn and Jupiter, 1 May - 17 October 1768.

21. Computations of Mars' longitude, 11 April 1768 - 8 November 1768.
