We would like to improve the Celestial Navigation Plugin (the last major improvements were in 2017-2019) and there are 5-6 Issues that should be corrected to make the plugin more accurate. We have recently added unit testing to verify the accuracy of the plugin. It is currently failing.
We need just a few C++ programmers who are familiar with celestial navigation to help us make the necessary changes and to integrate some C++ code into the plugin. Additionally several of the dialog forms will need to changed or have fields added. The changes needed have been largely worked out.
The Summary for these changes is under Issues
The github branch being used is "improve" and it is located here https://github.com/rgleason/celestial_navigation_pi/tree/improve

If anyone has time and ability we would very much appreciate your help.
