Attached is Arthur Pearson's pdf introducing lunar observations. Very nice, but a little out-dated. -FER PS: Note that this file as well as many other sources from five years ago place a little too much emphasis on Joshua Slocum's commentary on lunars. At that time, many people believed that Slocum had circum-navigated the globe actively using lunars. He only shot one lunar observation for at least two-thirds of his voyage, and there's no evidence he ever shot another. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
