(meteorobs) Zay Observatory Long. & Lat.
Lunsford Writes:
Rennie's latitude estimate agrees exactly with what I came up with
. 32 50' 00" lies SOUTH of the freeway. Ron's longitude estimate was
between the figures you and I came up with. My estimate from the topo
maps of your site was 116 37' 03" 32 50' 18". Ron's figure was 116 37'
30" 32 50' 18".

Sorry guys that I took so long to get back to this. Just haven't had time to
check it out more thoroughly until now. Anyhow, I took out my topo map for my
observatory and closely re measured it. Looks like Rennie's program is right
on in determining Longitudes and latitudes. My rechecking it came up with :
Long: 116deg 37' 27", Lat: 32deg 50' 22". It's now very close to what Rennie
got...close enough for me to use his readings and assuming any minor
descrepancies is probably due to my actual measurement process. So...for
those who are interested in using my data from my Descanso observing site, I
will for now on show my Long and Latitude as thus:
Long: 116 deg 37' 30" West
Lat: 32 deg 50' 18" North
