One front marching through after another. Evenings in the mid 50'S (F). On the upside, lots of wind. One of George's posts, at least on my e-mail program, was a duplicate. So let's leave pedantic alone and focus on redundant. ;-) Changing topic, I've been playing with your 270 azimuth for longitude idea. My pie plate of oil with glass over it is proving to be quite a challenge at 30d elevation, but nonetheless finding longitude within 0!9 and 0!5 with single observations although I missed 270d by many minutes on the one-shots. Within 153 ft on the day I could average and fit to curve. (Better lucky than good). More on that in a separate post when I gather more data and get my artificial-horizon quirks under control.
