That’s not what I mean. So a key part of celestial navigation is deciding the point from which you plot your intercepts in order to determine lines of position. The distance between the point that you plot from, called the assumed position, and the point along the azimuth toward or away from the body that you plot the perpendicular line of position at is called the intercept. That intercept distance is what I’m talking about. Not distance between sights.
Also, as I mentioned on Discord, if you are doing celestial sights every three hours you will get burned out in no time. I think I suggested to you to keep it to one a day, that is more than sufficient given the fact that, as Pisces said, there’s no set and drift or anything like that in the game.
