Hi Brad,
are you talking about Jim Wilson, our friend in NavList, and the author of "Position from observation of a single
body", and "The noon fix"?
If so, can you give us some information about his MPP? thanks.
BTW. The fix by least squares, (Originally: Optimal Estimation of a Multi-Star Fix, C. De Wit. NAVIGATION, Vol.21 , No. 4, Winter 1974-
75, pp 320-325), is the official method for sight reduction in the Royal Navy, UK, (Astro Navigation. The Admiralty Manual of Navigation Volume 2).
fair winds!
