I'm working my way through the Moon-Mars example now from Part 2 and I'm not feeling too sure of myself. I feel pretty good about my calculated D1 and D2, 65.459 and 65.920 respectively. But, I'm wrestling with using Letcher's method to find D and I'm outside of that range. I'm subtracting semidiameter and Mars' paralax from the lunar distance and I end up with a D of 65.406. Can anyone give me some hints?
