Frank, > I found this message confusing since you seem to be referring to two > different discussions that are going on. I was refering to the method of determinimg position by two observations of the Moon-star distances, without taking any altitudes. To my understanding, no chronometer was required because the GMT can be determined from one of the distances. One can also discuss a version with of the same with chronometer, but the thing that limits precision is that Moon's parallax depends very little of your position on the Earth.
