Linked is a side by side look at an 8 minute time interval vs. 16 minute time interval done this afternoon at the dock using a Navy MK 5 bubble octant. The results are about the same and very close to my Palm PDA CN calculations for each individual observation. So this technique works darn good. I prefer the 8 minute interval only because it is easier to pick off the Hp's.
