John Karl, (our colleague in NavList), in his book: Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age, section 7 - Special Sights, proposed a method for calculate the latitude with the stars when we have an error in the chronometer.
An example is attached. (If John give me his permission, I can provide the scanned text.)
Regards.
