Abstract

The practical assessment of the accuracy of the mariner's astrolabe has been the subject of discussion in The Mariner's Mirror. This article gives further insight on this topic, based on period knowledge and statistical analysis of period and modern data. In addition, reference to more modern studies on this topic is given in an attempt to complete the list previously presented. It will not explore the influence of period tables for refraction and declination and the influence of longitude on the latter as these factors only affect the calculated latitudes, not the observations themselves.

水手星盘的观测方法和程序

对水手星盘准确度的实际评估一直是《水手之镜》讨论的主题。本文以时代知识为基础，通过对时代和现代数据的统计分析，对这一问题进行了深入的探讨。此外，参考更多的现代研究，这一主题是为了完成之前提出的列表。本文不探讨周期表对折射和赤纬的影响以及经度对后者的影响，因为这些因素只影响计算出的纬度，而不影响观测本身。
