Hello Greg,
Thanks for your last 2 Lunars, which cannot be solved through the standard/classical Tables since distances are too small.
Like earlier, I am assuming that both your UT and Position are "perfect", therefore I am deriving a "sextant observed value" as usual.
Spica Sextant Lunar : I found 2°54'295 (you observed 2°54'1), hence a difference of 0'195. If I enter 2°54'295 into Frank's Computer, I am getting an error of 3"0 .
Spica Camera Lunar : I found 2°56'047 (you observed 2°55'4), hence a difference of 0'647. If I enter 2°56'047 into Frank's Computer, I am getting an error of 3"0 .
Your camera picture is absolutely SUPERB : Well done !
*******
I also have taken a look through Google Earth at your place :
34 10'24" N 119 13'48" W
So .. you live in a sailboat in the Hollywood (?) Marina ... we can even see your spot if it is your exact position.
Enjoy, then ...
Thanks again, Greg
Kermit
