Analysis to account for atmospheric refraction in photographic satellite tracking; assuming star background satellite photographs, yielding right ascension and declination of occulated bodies, definite integral formula is developed for determining "central zenith distances" of satellite orbiting body having appreciable atmosphere; method for constructing refraction table using culmination techniques.
