It would seem that inter-stellar travel would indeed take some form of celestial navigation. The stars can be considered to be points within 3 space. As you move among them, the perspective of them will change while the positions of the stars do not. Your position in interstellar space is a function of finding the position that matches the perspective!
It seems on the face of it to be a reasonable transform

True, but the question was about navigating on planets outside our solar system.
In this conversation also Jupiter and Saturn were mentioned ... I assumed that one ment those in this solar system.
