    Frank,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Let's go with HD 202284 which can be found here in SIMBAD.

    (1) - From the data given here, and assuming that they would be correct,  I am deriving the following result :

    GMT = 01h10m49.1s, with Moon LL = 15°46.3' / 231.3° and Star at 15°53.3' / 231.7° , which is quite consistent with both the "picture horizon" and your own results (01:11:15 UT +/- 15 seconds) given than there is certainly some measurement error in my own data .

    You then certainly nailed it !

    (2) - An independent check would be to do the same for the 1 o'clock start being [almost] occulted.

    Would you be so kind as to indicate to me its ID and I will see what I am getting for occultation time. This will give us a very useful comparisation with UT dervived here-above.

    Thanks in advance for this extra data and thanks for this lunar Drill.

    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.
