Muhammad al-Qunawi edition of al-Khalili's tables

• ... that Muhammad al-Qunawi wrote a Turkish edition of Al-Khalili's tables (excerpt pictured) because, according to him, "some of our sons wanted, from this poor man, to learn about sine tables"?
  Source: "In the preface to his Tarjamah‐i jadāwil‐i āfāqī, Qunawī says “some of our sons wanted, from this poor man, to learn about sine tables; and so we translated this work into Turkish ...” (Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946)
  • ALT1:... that with tables prepared by Muhammad al-Qunawi, one can determine the time at night by observing the stars?
    Source: "One can simply observe a star reaching the last point instantly and also read its rise from a different table prepared by the author; one can enter solar longitude through the rise on the main table and determine the nighttime (Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946)"

• New enough and long enough. QPQ present. References are inline placed (Harvard style) and show no issues. I have added one extra invoke of Fazlıoğlu 2007, p. 946, to meet the requirement for ALT1 more obviously. No textual issues. Proposed image is public domain. Good to go.
