I suggest you go to the archives at http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/0409/ and read the threads "Time Sights for Jim T", "Time Sight Computations", and "Time sight of the sun, a navigator's morsel". Here are a few more stray morsels on the subject from the archives: http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/0201/0195.html http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/0305/0082.html http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/0305/0084.html http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/0305/0086.html Happy reading, Chuck Taylor Lat: 47d 55' N Lon: 122d 11' W __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
