Moon (Azimuth and Intercept)
On 25 February 1981, at 0622 ZT, you observe the upper limb of the Moon with a sextant altitude of 59° 58.6'. Your DR position is Lat. 30°28.3'8, Long. 102°39.3 E. The chronometer reading at the time of the sight is 11h 21m 18s and the chronometer is 48s slow. The height of eye is 59 feet and the index error is 2.5' on the arc. What are the azimuth (Zn) and intercept (a) of this sight using the assumed position?
A. Zn 305.4°, a 4.2 Towards
B. Zn 234.6°, a 4.2 Away
C. Zn 305.4°, a 1.5 Towards
D. Zn 305.4°, a 9.3 Towards
