...another thing that would be beneficial towards advancing the realism aspect of celestial navigation within the sim is to add a second hand sweep to the onboard chronometer. I know there's one that functions like a stopwatch but I'm talking about one that works that shows the seconds between the minutes...always running.

What I've been doing, and others too, I'm sure, is having a real world stopwatch or digital watch nearby to time the seconds when the game changes on the minutes. Every 4 seconds = 1 m.o.a. or 1 n.m. so, just using the onboard watch can automatically put the navigator 15 n.m. off from the get-go. Some of us have already discovered this when using the SR/SS tables for predicting Longitude.
