This summers quest has been to see how light (less than 2 pounds) and compact (10" x 10" x 3") a complete non electronic celestial navigation kit can be without sacrificing precision. I believe this quest has ended with Doniol sight reduction using compact trig tables, Ix azimuth diagram, Kolbe LTA excerpts, and the Ebbco plastic sextant. 5 pages of tables easily folds into the Ebcco sextant box. Traveling with a sextant has never been so easy :)
