I wanted to know about where it was, and asked Starpilot TI-89 for one answer.
Problem it needs a DR and it calculates automatic the refraction, but I gave it a try.
DR 0°, 0°. Entered the 3 stars problem that gives a few positions possibilities. I have taken
arbitrary the last one, entered that as new DR and started over.
This resulted in pos: 48° 34.4'N, 122° 15,3'W.
Wel far from perfect. But there in the neigborhood you are.
One problem, the automatic refraction correction wil disturb the result, but it
gives a rough idea.
