Assuming you have the time, I wouldn't even use the nomograph. There's an easier and more accurate way. Start your stopwatch, and put a mark on the target's position where you start the watch (can be done while paused for accuracy). If you're using Imperial measurements let it run for 3 minutes, or 3 minutes 15 seconds if you're using Metric measurements, then put another mark on the target position. Measure the distance covered by the target. Every hundred yards or meters is 1 knot of speed.
