Tom, I suppose this was a reply to Frank's message. > I > generally see about 4 times your error. I just want to mention that the accuracy of modern Lunars with modern sextants was subject of discussion many times on the list. And that some list participants have a different opinion from Frank's opinion. Roughly speaking Frank expressed the most optimistic point of view in this discussion, and some other list members (including myself) consider this overoptimistic.
