Gary,
Another problem I found with the manual recording of sights is that a too quick series results in the lead pencil lines on the drum being to close to be able to appreciate differences in the measured altitude......I guess will have to live with that. A 100 sights averager would be ideal......maybe for Christmas a USN mark IV......
