The following table, is a small experiment in determining weather the calculations posted, are real or random. I  have been trying to find a link which relates to a possible combination to determine time of event, a kind of seismic clock if you will.  I use a formula of 7.5 and 7.25 degrees fore or aft of the sun and moon respectively for a given time, to construct positional models and therefore location in longitude. In theory this works, but in most cases only after the fact.  Centre, fore and aft is abbreviated as CS, LS, RS, etc ... a 1 degree error should be taken into account, and the calculations should only relate to 5+ events. The objective here, is to link sun and moon positions with the co-ordinates below, at the time of events ... not position of the events.

Thank you for your tolerance
