The Generalized Comrie Projection: A Closed-Form Transformation from the Fundamental Plane to Arbitrary Observer Altitude

This paper develops the Generalized Comrie Projection (GCP), a closed-form transformation from arbitrary points on the Besselian Fundamental Plane to geographic coordinates at arbitrary observer altitude. The method extends Leslie J. Comrie’s 1933 eclipse transformation by replac...
