From the US Naval Observatory pages at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/AA/ in their research pages they mention one of their programs: Celestial Navigation As part of a Navy software project, new algorithms for celestial navigation have been developed. Given suitably accurate observing systems, these algorithms would provide sight reduction and positional fixes at the one arcsecond (30 meter) level of precision. Interesting! Does anyone on this list know anything more about these "new algorithms"? Dan Daniel K.
