We know that :
The direction of azimuth .. don’t you think should be N34.4W. it’s written east..in question no. 5 of azimuth star. Please let me know if it’s correct.
Good day Sir,
Just a short question, how do we name every deviation obtained from Azimuth Sun sailing? How do we know its east or west? Thank you
I found a very usefull.
Keep it up
Sir!!
