Do you know where I can find the proper coordinates for where it should be? I’m interested in the compass point in degrees and the altitude.
I was taught in the military that a way to make rough measure of altitude is to hold your hand out at arm length making the “Just hang loose” sign in Hawaiian (fist with thumb and pinkie extended) and putting the thumb on the horizon and the pinkie would be at approximately 20 degrees. Flipping your hand by putting your thumb up while keeping your pinkie on the same 20 degree mark now adds another 20 degrees and therefore your thumb is at the 40 degree mark. You can keep doing this until you reach directly overhead which is 90 degrees. We used this in the field to judge the height of aircraft.
