Default The noon sight - it's a beautiful thing.


Actually, I never used this method, except in an "emergency". The
normal method used, was to get a couple/few morning sunlines and do a
running fix by moving them up along the course line and crossing them
with the LAN sight.

OTN,

Now, with your explanation, Neal may be able to get a Local Noon sight.
Maybe, I'm still not sure he aware of what we are talking about. Hitting
a high noon fix with the Earth traveling over 900 MPH is kind of like
catching a Fly with Chop Sticks.

OTN your method is the correct way to take a Noon Sight. Even the
instruction that came with Neal's (Also mine) Sextant explains the Noon
Sight that way.
