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

Sorry - a bit late, but here are some I took from the beach. EP 50 46.8 N 000 41.1 W

                  Rigel   18:16:22    30 deg  57.0 min  
          Betelgeuse   18:18:50    44 deg  29.2 min
                  Mars    18:34:55    56 deg  11.9 min        clock running 12 sec slow from UCT, ie 2.5 on and Ht 3 m

25/08/2021   Altair  20:00:49   43 deg  46.1 min
               Arcturus  19:49:28   35 deg  33.8 min

Some of these are not the best, but they are as I saw them!
