112. On 13 September your 1830 ZT DR position was LAT 23°03'S, LONG 105°16'E when you observed a faint unidentifiable star through a hole in the clouds. The star bore 265.0°T at a sextant altitude (hs) of 62°25.4'. The chronometer read 11h 24m 39s and is 5m 08s slow. The index error is 1.0' off the arc, and the height of eye is 52 feet. What star did you observe?
The observed star was identified by reducing the sight for the correct time and position, resulting in a computed altitude and azimuth that matched Dschubba's values, unlike the other candidates.
