On 25 May your vessel's 1917 zone time position is LAT 24° 16.0' N, LONG 017° 26.0' W. At that time a sextant observation of the planet Saturn was made. The sextant altitude is 63° 05.1', and the chronometer reads 08h 18m 24s. The index error is 4.5' off the arc, and the chronometer error is 01m 05s fast. Your height of eye is determined to be 62.0 feet. What is the azimuth (Zn) of this sight using the assumed position?
