Hi, Sirko. Thanks for forwarding that request to Rainer! Rainer, I know your 
response to this would be of interest to our subscribers, and may clear up some 
important questions, too. In fact, I had one in particular:

Is it possible to use simultaneous data from other experienced observers who are 
not actually at the same location, if conditions (LMs, radiant elevation) are 
similar enough, or does calculating an individual's PC really require observing 
in a sizeable group of experienced observers?

(Just curious - I imagine you'd cover this in your response anyway! :>)

Clear skies,
Lew
