The last three observations are denoted as good, but for all the others as well as for the 
latitude observations, the Sun was veiled and not sharp. 
Combining the mean of the 5 and the 4 observations in the two positions of the instru- 
ment, by which the error of the assumed Hor. Point is eliminated, the result is: 
Watch I 5h 28m, LT—I = 0b 43m 35s + 0.054 Sp
