An example of a book in spanish, and the solution with the plot of the 95%, 50% and 16% confidence ellipse.CY12
An of the same book an example of the solution by the bisectors of the azimuths, (erroneous - fix is outside the cocked hat), and the least squares one.
Note that the bisector is of the azimuths of each pair of LoP, not of the angles of the triangle!
".out" files are text files with the solution for altitude correction and Marcq St Hilaire LoP.
".obs" is the input for my program CelestialFix.exe, for those who want to play with the probability.
