Using an example, this video explains the procedure for calculating the longitude of a ship based on the 'long by chron' method. The example uses the sextant altitude of the MOON as a celestial body. The position through the position line (P/L) passes and the observed longitude is calculated in this video. Previous videos have discussed the 'long by chron' method using the SUN, STARS, and PLANETS as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjyNrjkSXFI&t=1075s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-GGnlXWkGM&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYdx6Me9mL4&t=373s
