    R: Re: Exercise #15 Day's Run (almost)
    From: Federico Rossi
    Date: 2008 Aug 10, 11:06 +0200

    Jeremy,
    I've just worked the first part of the exercise, but I got to a slightly
    different result.
    In fact I use to define a running fix one which is derived from observations
    well spaced in time, e.g. a couple of hours before LAN, LAN and a couple of
    hours after LAN: in this case I assume the center of the (hopefully) small
    triangle formed by these three LOPs as being the Fix. In this case only one
    LOP is really spaced in time, i.e. the sun LOP of the morning, while LAN and
    moon LOP are only a few minutes apart, so I would rely on the latters to
    calculate the 1200 fix which is then 15deg 13.7' N 145deg 00.0' E.
    What do you think?
    Federico
