294. On 26 July your 1901 ZT position is LAT 28° 28' N, LONG 157° 16' E when you take an observation of Jupiter. The chronometer at the time of the sight reads 08h 54m 34s and is 06m 24s slow. The sextant altitude (hs) is 33° 51.5'. The index error is 2.8' off the arc, and the height of eye is 48 feet. What are the azimuth (Zn) and intercept (a) for this sight using the assumed position?
The correct answer is derived by accurately reducing the Jupiter sight, accounting for time corrections, altitude adjustments, and sight reduction from the assumed position, resulting in an azimuth of 248.2 and an intercept of 34.2' Toward the body.
