If you find the paper I also would be interested. I use a KVH datascope on my sextant. It gives time, and azimuth (+/- 0.5 degrees). I have been using the summer / Azimuth line as a first approx for a few years. It keep me from making Big mistakes... I still seem capable of the other types mistakes however.

Does anyone have the whole document? I have a curiosity to read it.
