By inspection, just a quick look at the numbers, a bit less than 1/10th of a NM. Doing a ratio and proportion, I get a difference (error) of 528'.
Speaking from the fortress of limited knowledge, I doubt that this "error" would make much difference respecting a sextant shot. Others would know better than I.
