    OK, so that explains the difference in AP longitudes... and now I'm
    curious why my plot (from 249 vol. 1) is so different from yours (even
    given the different origins for the LOPs).
    
    Or maybe that's about as "accurate" as can be expected from using 249
    (given that Hc and Z are both rounded to whole numbers)? It's been long
    enough since I actually plotted LOPs that I really don't remember, but
    I figured I'd at least get closer to the actual position than what my
    rough plot showed.
