Thanks Bob,
Good work. Looks like you used a GMT of 9.00? I used my lunars to work out an unknown GMT which came to 9.0.24.My HoE was 4ft sitting comforatbaly in a beach arm chair. My fix via 2 body LOPs and time sight (+meridian latitude) used the lunar derived GMT of 9.0.24. Maybe that explains the slight difference?
Either way, still hardly believe the accuracy of the results. Probably luck on my part plus perfect easy conditions.
Francis
