Some quick thoughts

1) http://www.celnav.de/ Hemming Umland implemented some nice
javascript code for ephemeris and sight reduction - save the web page
and run it in any browser. Worked fine on my MacBook Pro

2) Any of the various spreadsheet implementations - quite likely work
in OpenOffice Libre Office if you dont have Microsoft eg
http://www.navigation-spreadsheets.com/

3) CelNav https://github.com/ms8r/celnav is a python program using the
python ephemeris library (you can use this directly it is very easy to
use with a minimal level of python programming). It is part of the
Navigatrix distribution - custom Linux for cruisers. I dont remember
trying it when I had a mac but I certainly ran other python code.

4) OpenCPN runs fine on a Mac, does the Celestial Navigation plug in
work on a Mac though? I cant remember!
