Hello,
As you know there are a lot of celestial methods to compute the fix.
Out of spherical triangle solutions "Marqc St Hilaire", other direct methods are available, as Matrix or Lagrange Multiplier (TR Metcalf), etc...
A French citizen, Yves Robin Jouan, has developed a method called "Coplanar Vertices Method", Or "Methode du Plan des sommets".
Do you have any idea about this method, as i see it's close to Matrix method developed by Watkins and Janiczec.
