NavList:

Congratulations Douglas for your updated "Star to Star distance" drawing in NavList 12276.

It says and clearly depicts absolutely all !!!
Best Regards
Antoine M. "Kermit" Couëtte

=============

You are most welcome Antoine. I had to draw it to clear thoughts in my own mind as it was along time since I played around with lunars and star distances.
Even then it took George Huxtable(who I prod gently from time to time in gentle fun) to correct me re. the refraction, which of course is always applied subtractively to Apparent altitude measurement to get to True altitude measurement in normal navigation procedure; whereas in this case I had forgotten it is the other way around for comparison of star distances when you want to get from True (calculated) to Apparent altitudes to compare what you have found by sextant. All good fun. And thank you George - nothing wrong with pedantry when you are right.. :-)
