Latitude of Vessel - Nav. Gen. Question

Hello,

How do you know what bearing to use to check the latitude of your vessel? See attached question.

Thanks,

Pat

This is referring to a latitude by meridian transit solution in celestial navigation. You will use your sextant to determine the altitude of a body as it crosses your meridian. It will bear either 000 or 180 when it does so.
