    Jeremy,
    I am interested in calculate the position by "Series of Sun sights in relatively rapid succession" using LS SR and Kaplan algorithm, and comparing the solution with the Noon calculation.

    You gave us the Dec, but no the date. Looking in the almanac the date may be 28 of may, isn't it?
