Oh, before I forget to mention it:
As the determinition of MP (longitude) is based on the proportion of differences and the altitude differences are to small for refraction to play a notible rule, one can just use the "bare" (Hs) readings. Only for the determination of latitude one needs to clear a (single) sight.
