Frank Reed, Gary LaPook, Brad Morris & Davis Fleming:
Thanks all for your attention. By the way Frank, I can spell, it's the typing that presents problems. In any case, you are forgiven.
Re various queries, please note the following.
24 Sept:
AM shot 10:14;26 EDST, no watch error
Hs 37D 22.6M
HE 10'
IC 1.5M ON
Zn 91D
PM shot 15:29:55 EDST, no watch error
Hs 39D 59,6M
HE 10'
IC 1.4 ON
Zn 269D
Time between shots = 5 + hours, which should provide a sufficient spread, no?
26 Sept
AM shot 10:11:37 EDST, no watch error
Hs 36D 27.2M
HE 10'
IC 1.8 ON
Zn 92D
PM shot 16:01:48 EDST, no watch error
Hs 33D 54.0M
HE 10'
IC 2.9
Zn 268D
Time between shots, almost 6 hours, which should provide a sufficient spread.
I will do more shots tomorrow, that being Friday, noting compass headings. Variation hereabouts is 10 D West, as I recall.
If the local library has a scanner, I could probably send the calculation sheets, I use USPS Sight Reduction Form SR 96a
Thanks again all, for your attention.
Alan
