298. On 26 November at 0535 ZT, while taking sights for a morning fix, you observe an unidentified planet bearing 074° T at an observed altitude (Ho) of 38° 29.8'. Your DR position is LAT 27° 18.9' S, LONG 30° 18.4' E. The chronometer time of the sight is 03h 33m 16s, and the chronometer is 01m 48s slow. What planet did you observe?
Saturn is the correct identification because its GHA and declination, when reduced from the DR position, produce a computed altitude and azimuth that match the observed values within acceptable limits.
