Sean,
Very impressed with your results which are somewhat better than mine. Could I ask whether these were taken on land or on a pitching and rolling boat at sea? Also whether you were using measured Altitudes or calculated?
I've mainly done sun lunars at sea. (never done planets but will try this year) I have found the results in a calm anchorage significantly better than those on the bouncing north atlantic swell! My best results were taken in my garden, but then I know where that is!
Francis
