    Atlantic Crossing - Celestial Navigation in Practice
    From: Martin Caminos

    Hello Paul,

    Thanks for comments. In my case, I did most of the sight reduction using the 249 table, so I had to assume an entire latitude and also a longitude which matches the GHA of the body I was using (the minutes part).

    Regarding the height of eye, the first day of the cruise I asked customer service for the heights of deck 8th (where the stern was) and 9th (where my room balcony was) and just in case I explained what I needed that data for. They did not ask any particular question.

    Those heights were critical when using the marine sextant, because as we know, no need for that when using the bubble sextant.  

    Thanks !
