"But wait" you say. "What you say may be true if the boat isn't moving but what if I am sailing east at 120 nm each day at 60 degrees latitude, wouldn't that cause the altitudes to increase an additional 4 degrees per day at twilight? "
"No." Your twilight will come an additional 16 minutes earlier GMT but your LHA Aries will be just that 1 degree greater.
