Now, if this was an EXERCISE, that is, we KNOW our Longitude, and want see how close we can get with our sextant to the angle between Moon and a star, there WOULD be a best angle. It would be the MINIMUM angle, where it is not a very strong function of time and therefore not a strong function of Longitude. Is THAT the situation, Geoffrey?
