    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.
    
    Alex.
