Hello!
While doing the SRs for my data I found the source of the biggish Sun LoP #7 intercept. It was because of the miscalculated HA at 12:54:05. The correct HA value is 28°42,3'. (I misread my 28°46,2' HS entry as 28°42,6'). Now the intercept (by Casio fx-85ESPlus and the averaged samples) is +0,8' instead of -1,9'.
Warm regards,
Tony
