I wrote previously,
"A very careful lunarian historically might have done a set with three or four Pollux lunars and three or four Aldebaran lunars to cancel out some sources of error by shooting on opposite sides of the Moon."
It's not a big deal, but I made an editing error here. I had ruled out Pollux in the previous sentence and suggested Regulus. So this should have said 'three or four Regulus lunars and three or four Aldebaran lunars'. The Moon is about halfway between the latter two stars tonight.
