I'm eyeballing it and very interested in the solution approach. I'd place the FIX at Lat offset 11' and Long offset 20'.
I'm using the inverse of Intercepts as a weighting factor. And not doing decimal minutes for the Fix.
Star B and C intercepts roughly the same to each other but 15x longer than the Star A intercept.
So, I think the Star A sight (and LOP) has more weight to me.
and the Fix is midway between the LOPs for Star B and Star C.
