WANTED - pabrides - 02-26-2021
Hello shipmates,
I dont seem to have any opportunity to get star or planet shots
I do sun shots all the time with occasional moon shots, but star and planet shots I get none.
Please get a star or planet shot, or two for fix, so I can get some practice.
Include just raw data:
DR lat/long, gmt time and date, dip height, watch error, instrument error, hs, body name.
If you use an artificial horizon please send hs after adding ic and dividing, then just mention that there is no instrument error, if any, nor dip.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
