It's something like this (only a bit worse):
given x, work out alpha from
cos(alpha) = sin(delta) * sin(x) * sin(theta) - cos(delta) * cos(theta)
then y1 = h * cos(alpha) + offset1 + err1
y2 = h * sin(alpha) + offset2 + err2
where theta is known, and delta, offset1, offset2 and h are to be
estimated and err1, err2 are measurement errors.
x is known, (y1, y2) are observed.
