    Re: The Moon and the bubble sextant: how to correct properly?
    From: Tony Oz

    Dear David, thanks for the review.

    The sextant (I work with an ИМС-3, a SOLD KM2 clone) is OK because the Sun LoPs look plausible. It was my first time using NA's tables for the Moon in the bubble-horizon-way. Before that, with my СНО-М (or the FREIBERGER), I had reasonable Moon LoPs with natural horizon and UL/LL. But also the temperature was within the table limits (normally I use these tables by Erik De Man).

    Next time I'll try to align Moon's limb with the bubble's center - and apply the "normal" correction procedure. Hope that will let me to expose the root of the problem.

    Warm regards,
    Tony
