    Dear George,

    For the Lunar distance observations, night of 2-3 Dec, 1803, you indicated :

    "Those confusions relate to ordinary altitude observations, but things get
    much worse when we reach the attempts at a lunar, at Kaskaskia, on the
    night of 2-3 December, 1803. Try as I might, I am quite unable to unravel
    the observations to make sense of them. If anyone else can arrive at any
    understanding, I would be most pleased to hear about it. Details are all
    there on the website, if you follow the journey to that date."

    I wish to give it a try : what observer's coordinates should I (best) use to re-work these Lunars ?


    Thank you and Best Regards

    Kermit
