On 29 April your 0300 ZT DR position is LAT 28°39' N, LONG 168°03' E. You are on course 108°T at a speed of 22 knots. Considering their magnitude, azimuth, and altitude, which group includes the three bodies best suited for a fix at star time?

Correct Answer: Option B — Moon, Alpheratz, Polaris

Selecting bodies for a fix requires a balanced azimuth spread to minimize the geometric dilution of precision. The Moon, Alpheratz, and Polaris offer a superior distribution in azimuth and altitude for the given DR position, ensuring the intersection of lines of position provides the most accurate fix possible.
