Sean,
Looks like the calculated altitude of VEGA is incorrect for your assumed longitude of 76* 28' W. I get Hc 36* 9.4' for an intercept of 3.1 toward. Investigate VEGA

Greg,
Your plot is much closer to the actual position of 37°03!3N, 076°28!6W.
So, what do you think was the greatest source of error in my work?
Thanks!
Sean C.
