Hi George I have now been confirming the solar declination values that Worsley used. It is clear that he has been adjusting the declination as a function of the time from his chronometer. I carefully extracted his stated time, adjusted that to modern values and used that with Frank's Online Nautical Almanac to determine the bracketing declinations for that time and date. Please take a look at the attached document Best Regards Brad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
