    I did not reduce each sight. Only the averages.
    My previous obsrvations with art horizon were generally less
    precise. And many of them showed systematic error (overshot).
    Same happened with star distances, with a larger error.
    
    What does the second number (after +/-) in your message mean?
    Maximal deviation  from the average or standard deviation?
    (I suppose the first number is the average Ho-Hc).
    
    Alex.
