Here is a link to an interesting celestial navigation puzzle where the position is given using three stars to mark the pin wheel. A trig calculator is required. Tables or programs may not produce the necessary precision for discovery. Sextant optional ;-) I'm surprised only 17 have found the prize. Obviously NavList wasn't consulted :))
