"I worked the lunar and here are my results: D =49d 26.4m making chronometer @ 08-16-59 GMT!! But when I solved sight using Frank's time of 01-17-30 via standard sight reduction, fix=N41d 26.6 by W 71 51.6! I used Stark's book and calculated altitudes @ DR N 41d 21.5m by W71d 58m via Atlas. I did numerous checks and found no errors! How scary! I am anxious to hear from others and thanks! Yours Truly, Mike Burkes
