[sac-forum] Re: List of Latitude and Longitude for SAC observing sites

Peter, my GPS uses decimal minutes so they were used.  Guess I could have 
changed the decimal minutes to second with a simple multiplication by 60.  I've 
tried to reset it to used seconds but haven't been successful.

Thanks for the update.

Clear skies,
aj

  Oops... forgot one:

  113 01.900 = 113:01:54

    AJ,

    Here's what I have for Hovatter Road (Antenna):  33:35:07 N, 113:37:58 W

    And the notations in deg/min/sec for those specified as decimal minutes 
below:
    112:05.147 = 112:05:09
    112 53.749 = 112:53:45
    113:17.833 = 113:17:50

    Peter

        Howdy all;



        I have a new mount, the Orion Sirius, and it demands a Lat-Long 
position for its location each time it starts up.  I know that someone posted a 
listing of SAC observing sites that gave GPS positions and I may have 
downloaded it and it just went to the big hard drive in the sky;-)



        Anyway, I can't find it and would like to make a printout to take with 
me when I go out with the new mount.  So, if someone (or several folks) has 
created such a list, would they please post it here so I can capture it.



        Thanks;

        Steve Coe
