The first star, '7 Pegasi, is subjected to the greatest diminution in north polar
distance, a Arietis suffers less, and Aldebaran still less. The north polar distance
of the fourth star (1; Geminorum) is augmented, but by a very small quantity.

Having thus found the correct altitude, latitude, and polar distance, the apparent
time of observation may be found by either of the three following methods ; of
which the first is the most simple, since it does not require the table of natural

Dutton's Nautical Navigation
The remaining side (between the pole and the GP) is called polar distance. This
term is used instead of codeclination because the definition of 90° minus the
declination only works when the body's GP and the elevated pole are in the same
...
