Um, is nobody shooting from the deck of a small boat? I found the discussion very interesting from a geodetic standpoint but from a small boat navigation standpoint (sic)...? Getting a sight to repeat consistently within a minute or two on any but the calmest of days is simply not going to happen. And by "small boat" I mean almost any vessel under the size of a commercial freighter. Rick S/V One With The Wind, Baba 35
