This third edition covers both the basics and more advanced applications. It is written for sailors, navigation students and anyone who wants to understand how stars and planets move across the sky.<\/p>\n<p>Examples and illustrations show how the star finder can help you <strong>identify celestial bodies and plan sextant sights<\/strong>. Topics include recognising stars by brightness and colour, identifying planets, and choosing combinations of stars, the Moon and planets for position fixing.<\/p>\n<p>The book also covers daytime observations of the Sun and Moon, the interval between Sun sights, and running fixes. It explains how the star finder can be used as a solar compass. Fully worked examples connect the explanations to practical navigation tasks.<\/p>\n<p>For the third edition, the numerical examples have been reviewed and many illustrations improved. New sections explain how to take more accurate readings and use the instrument for great-circle navigation.
