128. On 15 December in DR position LAT 23°24.0'N, LONG 55°36.0'W, you take an ex-meridian observation of the Sun's lower limb. The chronometer time of the sight is 03h 45m 19s, and the chronometer error is 00m 00s. The sextant altitude (hs) is 43°02.3'. The index error is 2.6' on the arc, and your height of eye is 65.0 feet. What is the latitude at meridian transit?
After correcting the sextant altitude, applying the ex-meridian correction, and combining the result with the Sun's declination, the latitude at meridian transit is 2333.5'N.
