1.  On 4^th March 1992, in DR 45⁰ 10’N 120⁰ 30’W, the sextant meridian altitude of the star ANTARES was 18⁰2’. IF IE was 3.2’ off the arc and HE was 10m, find the latitude and state the direction of the PL (LOP).

Solution –

2. On 12^th Sept 1992, DR 43⁰ 05’S 72⁰ 20’E, the sextant meridian altitude of the star ALDEBARAN was 30⁰2’. If IE was nil and HE was 18m, required the latitude and PL (LOP) and state the GMT of meridian passage.

Solution –

3. On 22th Sept 1992, in DR longitude 90⁰ 06’E, the observed altitude of the star RIGEL on the meridian was 73⁰2’ north of the observed. If HE was 15m, find the latitude and the PL. state the GMT of meridian passage.

Solution –
