    Re: Making an impact with hav-Doniol

    Good pick-up Peter. The plotting sheet is mislabelled. It should read 34° 20' N for Latitude. I did another plot which has the Hav Doniol fix differing by 2 NM from the calculator fix. Your position will not match mine because you did an average of all the morning LOPs. The Hav Doniol reduction is done to 4 places so there are rounding errors. Results are satisfactor considering the LOP cut.

    Greg,

     

    We nicely agree on the azimuth but can you check the AP latitude? (The chart says 34° 24’ but the formulae state 34° 20’) In my original post I used the GPS position as the AP; now I attach the calculation with AP = “Origin of our local coordinate system” at N 34° 24’ and W 119° 40’. My plot comes out the same as can be seen from the LOP intersections with this new AP’s parallel and meridian.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
