Roland,
Many forms provide a space for CE. My assumption is that when I take a shot, record the time and then the Hs that I already know what my chronometer error is and the time is adjusted up or down so that the correct UTC of the shot is written down on my index card. Even if I do not know the CE the chronometer can be compared to WWV or at www.Time.is once I get to "the official sight reduction table" (nav. station) or settee.
It might just be something specific to my habits but the time of the shot is always correct or adjusted to be so.
