The crew of U-13 finished testing the flak station sextant with good results. Here is the shot of Alioth along with the Altitude correction factors determined from the camera calibration described earlier. The error from my know position was 14 minutes of arc which works out 28 km on planet SH3.

Finding the stars is bit more difficult because you can't use the bearing information available at the observation scope. But with some star charts and with experience it becomes easier. I made some star charts that will be available for download.
