I would appreciate assistance with the following:

Exercises 5.8 page 225 sight reduction LAN data answers. I have solved all questions and verified all answers except the following:

Question 7 book says Zn = 0.0 degrees. I get 360 degrees due to S. Lat. LHA = 0.0 degrees. therefore LHA < 180....Zn = 180 + z.

Question 9 same results, book says Zn = 0.0. I get 360. What am I missing?

360° and 0° are the same thing. When we get a value of 360° we usually write it down as 0° unless there is further calculations to be done where having the 360° would be useful.
