Brad, I do not have to return to the spot as the spot is the balcony in my apartment:-) I determined its coordinates using Google Earth (the balcony is actually visible on Google Earth). As I was only concerned with Cel Nav, I always round everything to 0'1. (The accuracy of the almanac and of my sextant reading). But I can check with Google Earth again I do not have a GPS. I am not sure what is the real accuracy of Google Earth, and I believe it can be trusted to 0'1. Alex.
