My thanks to all but particularly to Greg for showing me the Sun values are on UNSO. It sounds silly but since I only used evening sights I never saw the Sun values on USNO. With this I was able to reduce my first Astra sun sight from 5/24 with intercepts of
4.5A, 3.0A and 3.8A. This is much better than I could get with the Davis for sun sights.
