Oh. I wondered how you got GHA, LHA or declination when only one leg and one angle are given, and no time. Must be a way, but it is above my head. Which leaves me with a pocket calculator, watch, sextant and almanac and the knowledge an HC and azimuth, and my best guess of 90/270d, is better than a time sight.
