CELESTIAL NAVIGATION COURSE
Starpath
This course covers how to find one's position at sea from timed sextant sights of the sun, moon, stars, and planets plus other routine and special procedures of safe, efficient offshore navigation. No previous navigation experience is required - the only math involved is arithmetic (adding and subtracting angles and times). This is a practical, how-to-do-it course, which also includes clear explanations of how it works and how to do it well.
This course includes other crucial factors of ocean navigation besides just finding out where you are from the stars, such as logbook procedures, dead reckoning, error analysis, route planning, etc. At the end of this course, you will be ready for ocean navigation. Thousands of students have successfully learned celestial from these materials and gone on to cross oceans or circumnavigate the globe.
The course comes with an interactive CD and a printed Course Text (247 pages), plotting sheets, work forms and all necessary table selections. It is important to know that the CD version is an eBook format that cannot be printed. Only the charts and forms can be printed. Other ebook materials include a perpetual almanac and a complete set of sight reduction tables. In going through the course lessons, you will be able to click on areas of interest, or on something you want to know more about. You will not be left studying on your own. Registered for the course, you are just a phone call away from individual personal help whenever you need it. Also, by going to the Starpath website and entering your serial number (from CD or paper manual) you can access the online version of the course and many other resources of Starpath. You may even email comments and questions.
