RE: NavList 22742

Dear Alan,

Thanks for explaining your work on Jeremy's sights on Jan 13th, 2013.

If you use reduction with a Calculator and Nautical Almanac daily pages, you should get results very close from Peter's ones. And your LOP's should closely match the figure obtained by Peter and depicted in NavList post #22574.

Depending on the Method your use to take in account both Ship's movement and/or auxiliary fix (in order to use full degree latitudes and/or local Hour angles), you might want to use some rather wide paper pages. In most cases, I have found that a 1 centimeter per NM scale works reasonably well : not to small so that you can report accurate positions, and not too big so that it help reducing the size of required paper page.

Best Regards to you Alan, and keep up the good work.

Kermit
