    RE : Curve-fitting-for-noon-Sun-Caruso-jan-2020-g46734  (Date: 2020 Jan 12)

     

    Hello to all,

     

    A bit late to reply to your message, Raphael.

    Still and if possible, would you mind publishing you set of raw data about this noon time, i.e. heights vs. UT times ? A bit difficult for me to reconstruct your data from your published curves, and even if I could, I would still be missing important information.

    Be so kind a s to specify all relevant information necessary for height reductions, so that I can adequately process you data from such environmental information, e.g. Height of eye if applicable, or specify whether it was from a sextant fitted with an artificial horizon, whether the refraction and other correction[s] such as Index Correction or other need to be performed.

    And also please be so kind as to indicate your gps position which I will use as a benchmark for own results.

    If you can do it, that would be great,

    Thanks in advance,

    Antoine

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
