Jared, I promise you would not need a sextant to observe this one! Unfortunately, after a wonderful clear morning, the clouds have moved in during the last few hours and I have no hope to see anything. Also, I said: 179deg 34.7', not: 179deg. Those 35' that you omitted are really crucial. Best regards Herbert Prinz Jared Sherman wrote: > Herb, my sextant must be missing a piece of the scale. >> > It doesn't go anywhere NEAR 180 degrees.
