On 10 October your 1500 zone time DR position is LAT 27°35.6' S, LONG 44°49.0' W. You are on course 342°T at a speed of 24 knots. Considering their magnitude, azimuth, and altitude, which group includes the three bodies best suited for a fix at star time?

Correct Answer: Option A — Moon, Al Na'ir, Rigil Kentaurus

Select navigational bodies offering optimal angular separation (approximately 120 degrees ideally, or balanced quadrants) with suitable altitude and magnitude during evening twilight at the given Southern Hemisphere DR position, making the Moon, Al Na'ir, and Rigil Kentaurus ideal.
