Clock Offset

gave Frank Introduction

  1. reduce lats and longs using new clock offset
  2. create before offset by using min residual - no residual over 10ish
  3. iterate until equation for line of best fit doesn't change

Outline of Report

Went through outline of report with Frank today.

need to remember to:

  1. Place UT onto latitude sheets;
  2. change RA and dec to UT times for both latitudes and longitudes; and
  3. plot clock error.
Have worked on introduction, and a bit of background for Celestial Navigation.

Update

Finished the checks of calculations. Still have a few sheets that need extra work. Other than that, clock offset (from GMT) has been modelled, and writing is the most important thing in my life....

14 000 to go....
