On 28 February your 1850 zone time DR position is LAT 27°49.0' N, LONG 159°24.0' W. Considering their magnitude, azimuth, and altitude, which group includes the three stars best suited for a fix at star time?

Correct Answer: Option D — Rigel, Schedar, Regulus

Selecting three navigational stars for an evening fix necessitates wide azimuth separation, moderate altitudes, and low magnitude values to ensure a strong geometric cut and clear visibility.
