Bear with me on this one as I'm noyt sure of all the terms I have often used my own lexicon.

When I am trying to calulate the AOB in OLC I calculate the range as shown (counting marks). I then use this range to calculate the AOB by counting the horsontal marks. When I line the range up with the ship length - I often end up with the "ship width in marks" giving me an AOB greater than 90° - e.g. If the ship is 15 from "lock on point" to bow/stern (30 wide in total) 15 marks corresponds to a value on the AOB ring greater than 90° - am I doing something wrong?

On occasion I even back up the range calculation using the God's eye mode
