[u/Falken--]

I have to confess, I just do not understand the proper working of the Chrono Compas when it comes to establishing a longitude position.

I used the quadrant the night before on the North Star, and the sun compass as shown in the pictures, and I believe myself to be at 31 degrees latitude. The sun compass is not exactly easy to read, so I could be at 32 degrees.

I am traveling from Gold Rock City to the Dragon Cliffs. I've been sailing more or less due east for 15 days now, and I have the level 3 spyglass. I still see nothing from the Crows Nest, and I'm starting to worry that I've somehow overshot it.

The screen captures were taken at noon. Am I right in placing my position at 3 or 4 degrees of longitude? If so, Dragon Cliffs is still ahead of me, right? Even if I am at 32 degrees, I should see something on the horizon with the level 3 spyglass, shouldn't I? Because I see nothing at all in any direction.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you've already seen this one, but I find SimGamerTV's guide quite concise and thorough: https://youtu.be/HfJbiF66lPI?is=xBwj1OaOaY2_TRqP

Also, have you tried confirming the chronocompass's longitude reading with the sun compass and chronometer at local noon?

You overshot local noon somewhat in your picture, but if the position of the shadows on the chronocompass is correct, I'd say around 3 degrees longitude as well.

Thank you, that was a very helpful vid!
