Use the time provided by the sextant. Maybe I did not make myself clear.
Here's an example.
Suppose you measure Altair. The sextant shows 17:00:00 UT.
Then immediately measure Polaris. Ideally it should be close to 17 UT as well.
But let's say it shows 18:00:00 UT. If the moon rises at 19 UT. You would be false led to believe it is 1 hour to moonrise when it's actually 2 hours.
But you can still use 18:00 UT for any calculation with Polaris.
I tested Polaris before I uploaded this mod and the time was close to the other stars. So maybe it was an earlier version of the mod. I don't remember.
