Like George, I've been "Off watch." But for longer time and for less
interesting reasons, one of them being that a backhoe took out our telephone
line.
A lot of good postings. William Noyce's insight, that the problem we were
discussing on the "It Works" thread takes care of itself, is beautiful. Why
didn't we see that?!
I'm sorry now I posted that method of finding SHA meridian, etc. It injects
the old nautical astronomer's way of thinking into the discussion. It isn't
needed, and confuses the issue. Arthur and others should forget about SHA
meridian and put to practice what William has said. That way they will see
how it works and develop confidence.
Don't think I have anything to add to what George has said. Glad he pointed
out that noon is the worst time to get local time.
Hope the "Artificial Horizon" thread will remain as lively.
Bruce
