Hello everyone,
I have a question about side error of my ASTRAIIIB sextant. While determining I.C. using sun disc I noticed a small asymmetry in side error. Increasing arc leads to NO side error at all while decreasing the arc leads to a small but noticeable side error. The same story with stars ...
What can be the reason ?
kind regards,
Igor
