Celestial Navigation: A Complete Home Study Course is a practical guide to finding your position at sea from timed sextant sightings of the sun, moon, stars, and planets. It also covers the surrounding skills of offshore navigation, including logbook procedures, dead reckoning, error analysis, and route planning. No prior navigation experience is needed, since the only mathematics required is basic arithmetic, and the book is aimed at sailors who want to learn ocean navigation step by step. Its explanations of how the methods work are paired with practice problems, worked solutions, and a glossary.
