Computed Altitude: Name of Celestial Body

This document contains the results of celestial navigation computations to determine the meridian passage of Miaplacidus based on observations taken on June 1, 2006 at 2:25:16 UTC and 32°00'00" N, 015°00'00" W. The computations yield a meridian passage time of 12:46:32 local time with a computed altitude of Miaplacidus of 47°49.1'.
