Thanks Peter and Russell for the pointers! I think I know what happened: I recall seeing the material but I never had need for it before, so I just forgot about it! I wonder how many other things I've conveniently forgotten? Scary. Time to redo the calculations. -----Original Message----- From Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM]On Behalf Of Russell Sher Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 7:04 AM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: Re: Sextant accuracy with short distance to horizon Dan - you need to use a table for Dip Short.
