Sorry Jim, I don't think there is any simple answer to the cold problem. Even in far warmer climes generally it can seem pretty grim just before dawn. Shivering is the body's answer, but the body just doesn't consider what this does to the steadiness required! Its just another movement complication to be added to all the others. Which brings us back to the desirability of examining a series of sights to determine the best data that can be extracted from them. Am certainly glad that frostbite is not an issue around here. > -----Original Message----- > From: Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM] > On Behalf Of Jim Thompson > Sent: Thursday, 21 April 2005 9:57 AM > To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM > Subject: Re: Backyard winter sextant observatory? > > All those glove tricks just don't work for me.
