Byron,
For double checking purposes post the UT time, date, height of eye, index correction, and Hs altitude of each body observed. (include temperature and pressure if A4 table is used)
I too found working a sight reduction backwards more difficult than a conventional sight reduction.

Byron: I have compelted a possible lession plan for teaching
a days work in Navigation. I would like to have it checked for
this is the first time I have work on the backward, development
of a lesson plan since I taught at OCS in about 1963.
I will send the chart part for inspection. If anyone/group wants to check the sights I will be happy to send them. Working with no sights is harder and more
error than at sea navigation. I used a simple sight form found in a text
book. Me, checking my own work is not a good way to go.
