Graticules may also be plotted for existing space photographs. Several earlier formulas, published or unpublished, are assembled with outlines of simplified independent derivations. Some apparently new formulas are included, such as inverse formulas for grid ding of space photographs. The formulas are given for the ellipsoid with height adjustments, and they may be readily simplified for the sphere.", pages = "149-160", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cagis/cagis/1981/00000008/00000002/art00005", doi = "doi:10.1559/152304081784447336" }
