    Am Olympus OMD em1 mark2 camera has in body 5 axis stabilization of about 5-6 stops. That may give enough stability.  Attached is a 3 second (as I remember) pic from my OMD from a house boat on a lake in N MN. It was dark enough that I could not see the tree line in this photo.

    A. Grey (what's your first name fellow navlister?) suggests telescopes with stabiliser.
    I've tried a homemade stabiliser and 4 inch refractor for Jupiter moons / longitude with no success at sea.
    I find it difficult enough on land on a solid tripod, but may have another go with a better stabiliser.
    Should be possible. Would be good to successfully finish a Galileo project started hundreds of years ago!

    Wow! That's interesting! I was actually wondering if it was possible now to use telescope based methods on a ship now cause of all the advanced stabilisation frames from the military just the other day...

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
