Robert, you wrote: "When I first attempted it, I was able to master HO 211 within an hour. I do, however, acknowledge that HO 211 is best used with a pre-prepared form. It does not really lend itself too well to back-of-the-envelope calculations. Still I have never found this to be an impediment." Thanks. And I agree. Also, every time I have messed around with HO211, I have had to re-learn the steps, but it's not difficult, and in any emergency where celestial might be the best position-finding backup, I don't think I would worry about spending an hour brushing up on the tables. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
