Hello fellow navigators, I am new and therefore very excited about navigation by the stars. My first question is about the stars themselves. Since we have the computer power to know where they will be well into the future why can't we have an easier method to locate longitude and latitude by having our sightings match this knowledge via time and sighting with any of the luminaries when at Zenith let's say or at any angle to my latitude when sighting Polaris let's say? Thanks
