Inhaltsangabe:

The perfect backup navigation system for the serious cruiser in a GPS era, this all-in-one tool kit supplies everything a celestial navigator needs except the sextant. "The Complete On-Board Celestial Navigator" replaces $300 worth of guides and almanacs traditionally required by celestial navigators and includes a star finder; a five-year (2003-2007) nautical almanac for determining precise star, sun, moon, or planet locations at the time of sighting; and sight reduction tables for crunching the numbers and producing the fix. Designed with the novice or rusty celestial navigator in mind, it even includes a celestial navigation primer.
