Page 3 - The observer must be furnished with a good Hadley's quadrant, and a watch that can be depended upon for keeping time within a minute for six hours. But it will be more convenient if the instrument be made a sextant, in which case it will measure 120', for the sake of observing the moon's distance from the sun, for two or three days after the first and before the last quarter. The instrument...
