Hello Paul,
Thank you for your interesting article which I have just barely read because of my upcoming duties to-day and to-morrow .
Paul you did mention :
[QUOTE] Kermit's solution makes the observed and computed lunar distances virtually identical. That's good. But the observed Sun altitude is 3.8'
less than the computed value, and the Moon altitude 3.9' less. [UNQUOTE]
Here, I am certainly in error in my published results since for these computations, I used HOE = Oft instead of 15.5 ft, hence the 3'50" dip difference ignored by my fault.
I will review all this when back from flights. Until then, thanks to you.
Thank you 2 U 2 Alex for your last contribution.
Kermit
