Frank:
I never considered adjusting every sextant altitude, since that's much too
labor-intensive for me. But you could simplify it by drawing a line with a
slope of
Sn - d and then plotting altitudes from that. Actually, I could do
the same, but with the WT scale broken to get the ascending and descending
altitude lines to intersect, that would involve more calculations. I think I'll
stick with Plan A.
