As I said before, just avoid this whole problem by never shooting more than two stars so then you just have the error ellipse (or circle) to consider. And I have also said what the Chief said, just use the third LOP (if you feel you must shoot one) as a check for gross errors in the two body fix that you have already plotted. To add a little something, each corner of the cocked hat constitutes a valid two body fix so just draw your error ellipses around each corner then look at the cumulative probabilities where they overlap. gl gl --- On Mon, 3/18/13, Hanno Ix <hannoix@att.net> wrote:
