A sextant-error during a polaris-shot of 1 degree is a distance-error of 111.2 km (60 nm).

have you run this mod? with the "quality" of the map and the measurement devices, you'll be lucky to know which box you're in...
I wasn't going for super-accuracy, I was just seeing if the stars are in the right place for the longitude

I'll have to look around for the location of the night sky after my daughter goes to bed... and my wife gets home from work lol

edit: haven't found the night sky yet, but I have found the sky...it looks like the sun and the moon live in the center lol

I do not fully understand your question but maybe this will help.

-If you do not understand simple dead reckoning read up on it elsewhere.
-If you do then read all threads here starting at beginning, "most" interface
questions will be answered.
-read all instructions in real nav mod.
-Do not worry about being confused.
-Go on simple cruises, plot courses to get used to all interface actions.Time
versus speed calculations. Steering by compass or rudder, speed over
ground, sleeping past your watch ex.This is to learn differences of
simulation from reality.
-Do not pursue or be pursued until you are confident.
-Increase length of cruising in all conditions and depths to understand what
can be expected.
-When ready apply the sextant learning.
-Be patient and try to think simple about the process.
