Henry,
Thank you have downloaded both volumes of Dunraven. They will take a bit more time to read though compared to Farley and Letcher. Dunraven's volumes are considerably thicker. And that is not to mention working the problems. Thank goodness Dunraven included the required pages from the 1898 Nautical Almanac. Hoping that I remember high school plane geometry and trigometry well enough to breeze through significant sections of Dunraven's explanations of those and arithmetic.
Sean,
Have finished all of _Celestial_Navigation_in_a_Teacup_ for for Appendix 4, which I hope to finish in the next couple days. The formulae for Hc and Zo work! Used the starting position, waypoint and destination latitudes adn longitudes available on the last page of the Amazon preview of David Burch's _Hawaii_by_Sextant_.
Jonathan
