These counterintuitive conjunction locations would have been the most useful to the early explorers of lunar-planetary conjunctions'.7 My paper actually pointed out that Columbus could evidence of longitude estimates following each conjunction in Pickering's Table i listed the horizon and 8 j degrees to its north, following the only lunar-planetary conjunction degree of the western horizon, and five hours later Columbus recorded yet another In his Table 2, Pickering converts this 707-league estimate into degrees to ' demonstrate' by Pickering,28 these Ephemerides errors would have generated a longitude 37 degrees east polarity.33 If Columbus had utilized this conjunction to estimate his longitude he would Although this position estimate correlates with the Jupiter conjunction, Columbus (a) Correlation of Columbus' 1492—93 position estimates with BTH conjunctions,	./cache/work_5qlvn4tp7fcx5hl5zovi4gvm3e.pdf	./txt/work_5qlvn4tp7fcx5hl5zovi4gvm3e.txt
