    Exercise #17: Venus around Meridian Transit.
    From: Jeremy C
    Date: 2009 Feb 18, 12:25 -0800

    The ship was anchored off of the port of Yosu, Rep of Korea on 10
    January 2009.  Position was Lat 34 deg 39.2�N; long 127 deg  59.0� E.
    Height of Eye is 109 feet, Temp is 0 deg C and Pressure 1017 mB.
    Index error is 0.8� on the arc.  A very bored chief mate took the
    following observations of Venus centered around meridian transit time
    of 0645 UTC.  The horizon in Korea and the East China Sea is far from
    perfect so expect some scatter.  Find Lat and Long by celestial
    observation.
