Azimuth is the angle, typically using true north as zero degrees to an object from viewers location. An altitude (if expressed as an elevation angle from the viewer) provides a line of sight to an object in space. If you were standing at a point and facing true north and there was an airplane flying at 20,000 ft and you knew the elevation angle you could compute the range and have an (X,Y,Z) location for the object.

What is grid azimuth?
The azimuthal grid is a coordinate system that stays still while the stars move across it on the sky (the celestial sphere). It measures the altitude above the horizon and the azimuth (position along the horizon) of the celestial object at a particular time, for a particular place.

How do you find the angle between two points?
You have to convert them to Polar Points or the Azimuth points and use the angle difference.
