False Horizons
From: Jackie Ferrari

I'm new to the list and a relative beginner at practical navigation so I hope my question isn't too elementary.

Recently I took a noon sight but the horizon was cut short by a spit of land. I took it anyway as I was curious to see how far out my LOP would be. It was about 1nm out. I wondered could anyone tell me if there is a formula relating the distance that the false horizon is from the real horizon for any give height of eye, and the error incurred in the LOP.

Thanks

Jackie Ferrari
