in 249 Vol2: SIRIUS SHA 258 33, Dec S 16 44
in Course book p248 SHA 258 55.4, Dec S 16 41.7

Any thoughts on this discrepancy? I thought that these values would have been the same.

in my copy of Pub 249 Vol 2 I see:

Sirius SHA (1985.0) 258* 53' Dec (1985.0) S 16* 42'

vs
Text T-5 This Table is for March 1981

Sirius SHA 258* 55.4' Dec S 16*41.7

The differences are due to the 4-year difference for the data.
