Bonjour, Antoine, et meilleurs voeux pour la Nouvelle Annee.
You have correctly understood everything except for "...before entering Frank's Calculator you corrected every such Instrument observed value by removing the value of AVERAGED Index Error (0'485) from every single Sextant value - i.e. SAME Index Correction for every single observation..."
I entered the index error with changed sign into Frank's calculator and simply entered the observed LD. Effectively, there was the same corection for every observation.
I will try a further series when the sun and moon are next in a favourable position, as even I was impressed by the results ;-).
