- Q135 - Navigation Problems: Oceans
236. On 22 July your 1759 DR position is LAT 24° 50.2' S, LONG 05° 16.0' E. You observe an unidentified star bearing 293° T at an observed altitude (Ho) of 17° 52.8'. The chronometer reads 06h 01m 31s, and is 02m 15s fast. What star did you observe?
Regulus is the only star whose position, when combined with the ship's DR latitude/longitude and corrected for chronometer error, produces a computed altitude and azimuth matching the observed values.
