    CORRECTION TO THE FINE TUNING !

    In my last Post, I wrote :

    QUOTE
    Final (averaged) Sextant Distance UT = 18h13m17.5s N46°36'.6 W002°29'.1

    Let's then compare with the Ship Navigation System position :

    Ship's position at UT = 18h13m17.5s was N46°37'.0 E002°26'1

    EXCELLENT RESULT INDEED : just 0.4' off in Latitude, and 3'.0 in Longitude !!! YOU ACED IT !

    Well ... it should have read as follows :

    Final (averaged) Sextant Distance UT = 18h13m57.5s N46°36'.6 W002°29'.1

    Let's then compare with the Ship Navigation System position :

    Ship's position at UT = 18h13m57.5s was N46°36'.8 W002°25'8

    EXCELLENT RESULT INDEED : just 0.2' off in Latitude, and 3'.3 in Longitude now !!! YOU ACED IT !

    IMPORTANT NOTE : Dear Lars, you still belong to our (hyper select indeed !!!) DIAMOND Club, more than ever ... Yes ! and you are even NUMBER ONE actually since your position has now become the closest one from true position.

    Friendly Regards


    Kermit

    PS : To all NavList Members : sorry to currently take up so much of our bandwidth ! In the upcoming days and weeks, I am very likely going to be much more silent.
