I thought the list would enjoy a look at the collective LOP plots which were observed with an A-7 bubble octant at 27*41'N 80*24'W under ideal conditions. Observed were the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Polaris, and various stars. Some LOP's are single observations but the majority of the LOP plots are averages of ten or more observations taken during a two minute interval. The blue circle center is the GPS position and the diameter of the circle is one minute of arc. Notice the LOP cluster 3NM toward an afternoon Sun. Not sure why that is happening for just afternoon Sun observation ? I will blame the Miller beer ;-) (see IMG 1077) Ignore all the dots. Most of the dots are intercept distances.
