Dave,
I didn't record altitudes for the bodies, but Frank's calculator gives:
Moon
Ha: 33° 56.2' GHA: 132° 03.1' Dec.: 12° 15.5' HP: 54.57' Corr.: -0° 43.9'
Sun
Ha: 35° 06.1' GHA: 52° 23.7' Dec.: -12° 58.4' HP: 0.15' Corr.: 0° 01.2'
True LD: 82° 55.0'
Cleared LD: 82° 54.8'
Error in Lunar: -0.2'
Approximate Error in Longitude: 0° 05.5'
Rodger's "Teacup" program gives the time based on the second observation as: 15:13:27 UT. So, an error of about 2 seconds! :)
Regards,
Sean C.
