Meanings of lunar observation in английском

Had a late start this morning in consequence of my having to take a lunar observation.

Owen had one evening entered the cabin shortly before the time for taking a lunar observation, in order to ascertain the longitude.

Our latitude at noon, on the 19th, was 49° 23', and the longitude, by lunar observation, 6° 56' west.

The mate, however, in addition to his "Dead Reckoning," pretended to ascertain his meridian distance from Bow Bells by an occasional lunar observation.

By a good observation the latitude was 39 degrees 30 minutes, longitude 147 degrees 18 minutes east, calculated from lunar observation 2 days before.

The longitudes have been settled by lunar observations, as is already mentioned.

I here took my last lunar observations, and made its mouth N. lat.

The delay however enabled us to obtain some lunar observations.

Cloudy & I could make no lunar observations.

From that date the Greenwich lunar observations have been a model and a standard for the whole world.

Happily, the disappointment was of little consequence, as the longitude was more than sufficiently determined by lunar observations.

Took a set of lunar observations.

This morning was so cloudy that I could not obtain any lunar observations with a Aquila as I wished.
