Good day to both of you Martin and Paul,
Regarding this interesting Lunar at Cusco by you Martin - "interesting Lunar" because you shot it from 3400 m AMSL - and using the very same data as you Paul, i.e. :
(1) - 2024-06-10 00:03:50 UTC (on that date IERS Bulletin A says UT1-UTC < 0.1 s , which gives TT-UT = +69.2 s),
S 13°31.40' W 071°55.00' +3400 m 12 C 666 mb 29 11.5 + (-1.5 IC) = 29 10.0 Regulus to far limb
own Lunar program yields 29°09.16' (vs. Paul's value at 29°09.17')
(2) - Changing "pressure station" - which I keep calling "QFE" - and only this entry data into 439 mb :
own Lunar program yields 29°09.63' (vs. Paul's value at 29°09.64')
Best Friendly Lunarian Regards to all,
Kermit
