List and Map of Astrofixes Observed between 1954 and 1968 by ANARE and Nat Map Surveyors
on
Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions
(generally by the position line method, unless otherwise noted, to obtain latitude and longitude, where stars could be observed through breaks in the cloud, preferably in each quadrant, and a fix obtained even in relatively bad weather)

Notes : General - Some of the locations above were later renamed when the mapping of the area was compiled; (#) - The Ney Method used for azimuth control at this site; developed around 1954 by Cecil Herman (Marsh) Ney, Geodetic Survey of Canada, latitude, longitude, and azimuth are deduced simultaneously from timed azimuth observations on three or more stars; the method is particularly advantageous for high latitudes. |
