I wonder if the eclipse bends the light somewhat. I took a number of sun sights during the event but so far have only reduced two of them. They are both off by 20+ miles. It'll be interesting to see if they are all off and consistent.
Curious isn't it? Do you think because you were only observing a portion of the Sun (assuming not the Upper Limb) and not complete Lower Limb that the difference in Hs is the cause?
It was a fantastic eclipse and I'm quite pleased to know that a sextant is so helpful in viewing the Sun.
