Enjoy your Astra,I envy your access, ready access I assume, to a "natural horizon". As to 2 body shots, try AM and PM sun, 4 - 5 hours apart, which should provide a good angle between LOP's. I'm not familiar with the program you mentioned, don't have anything to run the Navmatics program on, but the errors you mention seem miniscule. The Astra is a whole lot better than the Davis plastic sextant, isn't it?
