Read OTN's method of determine the Azimuth. You can't get a accurate
instant sight due to the speed of the earths rotation, Now, that
leaves the question; how accurate do you want to be? Your choice.
There are many way to get close but it's for you to decide. I like to
use a shadow facing true north & time but OTN's way is the exact way,
if your using your Sextant


I'll have a look at his post...
