Dear Antoine,
I wrote yesterday that one iteration my be useful, and now I have made one. There was an improvement (yes, because we know the correct answer) in longitude, to 2d31'W, but I doubt if it was worth the work. I have a feeling that I am trying to benefit from changes in the lunar distance reduction that are in the same range as the instrument uncertainty. Full solution in attached pdf.
