143. On 30 December in DR position LAT 28° 24.0' S, LONG 32° 15.0' W, you take an ex-meridian observation of the Sun's lower limb. The chronometer time of the sight is 02h 09m 16s, and the chronometer error is 00m 00s. The sextant altitude (hs) is 84° 03.3'. The index error is 3.5' off the arc, and your height of eye is 62.0 feet. What is the latitude at meridian transit?
The correct latitude at meridian transit is 28 51.9' S, determined by correcting the sextant altitude for index error, dip, and Sun corrections, then applying the ex-meridian correction to obtain the meridian altitude and declination.
