Correction, since Chichester added his watch error of 2:30 his watch was running slow, not fast on GMT. gl "A" show his computation of GMT or Zulu time for entering the Almanac. 12:11:22 is his watch time and the watch is obviously set to GMT. 02:30 + 1/2 is the correction for his watch error which is running that many minutes fast on GMT, Adding these two numbers produces the GMT of the observation of 12:13:52 (he dropped the extra half second.) "B" shows the computation of LHA for entry into H.O. 249. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
