Mr. Prinz and I had a good off list discussion about this last week.Here is
one of the letters of that exchange.Zd is -7.I used the index or the horizon
polarizing shade on all Moon observations including the distance
measurements.I just meant the horizon was sharp and could be seen easily all
through this and that the fog didn't obscure the horizon.The reason for the
20 min. delay between the 221040 zt alts. and the 1st distance was I had to
check the fluids and prep the vessel for a 0030 hrs. departure.The Jupiter
hs's below have already been supplimented from the backsight.Mr. Prinz and I
were having a discussion about the intercepts for these specific times and
that is why I reduced them.2000 zt sights were Moon + Jupiter.2200 zt sights
were Moon + Spica.
