Gary, you wrote: "I found this listing on ebay, any comments?" Yes, indeed. That is the very book which I have mentioned a couple of times in this thread, published back in 1982. I've got a copy sitting right here. And what do you know, the author himself has joined us (see message 5551). :-) It's a nice little book, and if you're interested in this plan of navigating by sights around noon (to get latitude AND longitude), it's definitely worth picking up a copy. It's also possible to do this sort of navigation without any special tables apart from an almanac. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
