In some books you read determ the bearing off a celestial object.
How can you do that reliable?
Is there a special compass or so for this purpose?
With a normal magnetic bearing compass you can look only a few degrees upwards
before the compassrose stalls.
A compass with pelorus may works perhaps, but who has that, with a free sight
around a yacht?
So who has the solution for this?
