These numbers can be divided by 120000 to obtain Lat/Long as used by Python in conjunction with Stellarium for sh3.

I'm completely unfamiliar with the workings of SH5, but I'm positive You are and know where to get that info. The Almanac that I reference above will get you the true degrees of altitude of any celestial body from any location, so it may be possible to measure a body's altitude with your sh5 sextant and compare it with the (Hc) altitude of the almanac to adjust your sextant.
I can get my exact position in real time (SH5 makes this real easy with it's scripting abilities) so that's no problem. SH5 code is SH3/4 code enhanced. Makes it really easy to find things

Thanks for the info. Some people are testing your information and I hope they will report back their findings. Then I can take that data and write some calibration code to return the true angle.
