Byron,
Thanks for the coke ;-) All of the observations (5) were away from GPS which may indicate a systematic error of some kind. It is possible that the lower limb of the Sun was consistently set too deep into the horizon (a personal error). Measurement of time, H.E., I.E., abnormal dip refraction, scope image centering, etc. could have conspired against me a bit. Any intercept closer than 1' MOA from GPS is golden in my book.
