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 on an interactive CD. 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, with your registration you will receive a "webcard". This allows you to access all of the resources of the Starpath School. From time to time Online Courses are given to which you may access. There will be assigments given and discussion following completion. You may even email comments and questions. Starpath plans to establish a chatroom for course discussion.
