and lunar longitudes were used for the following navigator's day work? Was
the next reckoning started from them? From the chronometer or from the lunar
longitude? (Probably after shifting them to the noon?). Or were they used
for obtaining the course to steer at least, as in Norie's Epitome from 1831?
Or were they left aside and DR longitude remained the starting point for
both the reckoning and for aiming at the point of arrival throughout the all
voyage as in the contemporary Bowditch (1851=1838)?
