Longitude by chronometer highest point, diminish the accuracy of determining longitude by chronometer as a method of celestial navigation. Accuracies of less than error in position are difficult to achieve using the "longitude by chronometer" method. Other celestial navigation methods involving more extensive use of both the Nautical Almanac and sight reduction tables are used by navigators to achieve accuracies of one nautical mile (1.9 km) or less. This only calculates a longitude at the assumed latitude though a position line can be drawn. The observer is somewhere along the position line. Time sight is a general method for determining longitude by celestial
Navy Ten Nautical Miler Navy Ten Nautical Miler The Navy Ten Nautical Miler (Navy 10 nm, 11.5 mi) is a run held at Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, Tennessee.
