Description

Celestial Navigation: A Complete Home Study Course, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to ocean navigation, covering essential techniques for finding position at sea using timed sextant sights of the sun, moon, stars, and planets.

With no prior navigation experience required, this practical guide explains how to perform safe and efficient offshore navigation, including logbook procedures, dead reckoning, error analysis, and route planning. The book includes clear explanations, practice problems, tables, and a detailed glossary, as well as full solutions and printable resources.

Over 20,000 students have successfully learned ocean navigation from these materials, and the book's Fit-Slope Method is cited in the latest edition of Bowditch. This updated second edition retains the basic approach and methods of the teaching, making it an ideal resource for those looking to learn celestial navigation.
