85. Where do you find the semidiameter correction to be used to correct sextant observations of the stars?

It is included in the altitude corrections inside the front cover of the Nautical Almanac.
Table 25 in Bowditch contains the correction.
A correction of -0.5' should be applied to all star sights.
No semidiameter correction is used.
