You are good. Give yourself credit. (Master Card, Visa and/or AMEX does ;-) Do you enter the name of the body before you observe? If you are using a sensor instead of a horizon, can you use this after dark? Would you please do a couple of sanity checks for me? Put your AP about 30d north or south from your GPS position and see how it does. Also 30d east or west. Use your GPS position as your AP and purposefully aim a bit high or low of the body.
