Well, I seem to have miscommunicated my answer, based upon the misinterpretation of it through various postings. I don't think John's problem is parallelism. I do think his problem is holding the sextant steady. When you take a lunar, the moon and the star brush each other as you wobble the scope. One goes left, the other goes right. And hence the reason why I said the plane of the arc in the same plane as the two objects. In this case both objects are the same object, just on a different optical path.
