• Graphic solution
The common intersection of two or more lines of position (LOP’s)
constitutes a fix, regardsless of the source of the LOP’s, provided
only that the lines are based upon simultaneous observations.
Celestial observations are seldom simultaneous because all sights
of a group are customarily taken by a single observer.
If observations are made a few minutes apart ( a round of sights),
all lines are adjusted to a common time and the position is
considered a fix. When a position is obtained by observations
separated by a considerable time interval (sun sights during the
day), usually several hours, we call the obtained position a running
fix.

The noon position (at watch time 12h00) has a high value in
navigation for several reasons:
