Hi Debra
The best two times of the day are the civil twilights. Those are just before dawn and just after sunset. The best bodies to use are the 57 navigational stars.
Just as a note, you will want 3 bodies in your fix. It is unlikely that 2 LOPs will cross at your position, in general, and 3 will produced a 'cocked hat'.
Best Regards
Brad Morris
Could somebody help me with my problem . I am learning on my own at present from books on celestial navigation.I need to get a fix with two lines of position but not sure which celestial body other than the sun and the best times of the day to achieve the fix.
