Greg,
I am surprised by Altair too. I thought that was my best shot as it fell right into my field of view on first light. I think a mis-reading is very likely as I find the FPM sextant difficult to read by flashlight and in reading glasses. The chromed micrometer drum is a real nuisance in the dark as it reflects light and obscures the index mark.
Thanks for your remarks!
Best Regards,
