I'd like to pose a question to the
experienced seafarers and navigators on this list.
What atmospheric and weather conditions would you consider to be ideal
for taking sextant observations at sea? Why?
What atmospheric and weather conditions would you consider to yield
observations of questionable value? Why?
I am excluding sea state here, but for argument's sake, let us assume that
the seas are flat calm.
I have few questions to add to this, but I want to wait and see what kind
of anwsers come across to the first question. I can explain the reasons
for my questions as the discusssion (hopefully) moves along.
Robert
