    John,

    Looking on line, I see that Amazon is still selling the 2007 edition.  AbeBooks shows some as 2011, some as 2007, others with no year.

    Not seeing the equations on pages 78 and 79 of the previous editions is a testament to my laziness.

    BTW, do I still get an acknowledgment in the new one?

    Stan

    Stan,
    The Revised & Expanded version came out in 2011 with 328 pages.  The 1st and 2nd printings had 274 pages.   The 2-body fix equations are on pages 78 & 79 in the older versions.  The latest version has a bit more explanation of the use of these equations, plus several significant additional topics.
    And thanks for the typo information.  I've missed that one and 'am always greatful when someone tells me about a typo, or any other suggestions for that matter.
    Peter, thanks for the good work you do.
    John K.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
