noon
Here is my result
N41°26'42" W71°43'33"
(N41°26'.7. W71°43'.55)
Which I obtained as the average of all answers provided to date. A
novel method which places me squarely in the woods of RI.
(Max-Min) latitude = 1.6'
(Max-Min) longitude = 1°32'47"
Proving, yet one more time, that obtaining longitude from the noon latitude
observation is fairly worthless.
