Book Synopsis Celestial Navigation by : Jerome MacCay
Download or read book Celestial Navigation written by Jerome MacCay and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was very honored when the nuclear physicist Ivo Orlic, who circumnavigate the world by his sailboat " Fiu ", expressed his gratitude. Despite having the indispensable GPS, he found himself in such circumstances in Pacific, that he was forced to use sextant and tables. I was ever more pleased by his gratitude since the year 2006 was in question. Furthermore, it convinced that this book should not end its life in antique stores and that it will always be in demand. This unique book is intended for navigators, yachtsmans and other fans of the sea and navigation who wish to reveal first of all the secrets of celestial navigation. Beside celestial navigation, the book provides a detailed description of the methods of identifying celestial bodies, defines sidereal, apparent and mean solar days, as well as the local time, Greenwich mean time, zone time, legal time and daylight - saving time ( or summertime). Also, it explains how to determine compass errors or the shortest routes in long-distance ocean sailing, instructs how to use small pocket calculators in navigation, how to orient oneself on a life raft by using improvised tools, how to navigate without any instruments etc. The British call the navigators who has no in-depth knowledge and solves navigational problems by calculator or computer a push-button navigator because for such navigation it is necessary to know only the sequence in which the buttons are to be pushed. However, such a navigator can bring himself and others into danger. The more you know, the further and safer you can sail! One should be aware that all types of navigation intertwine, so, for instance, sextant is also used in the coastal navigation. The book has been written clearly and in pleasantly readable fashion. It does not require any special prior knowledge so that it will also prove invaluable to the interested general reader. It contains all the necessary information required for celestial navigation at sea, including a number of relevant data, advices and instructions tested in practice and important to every navigator. The book also deals with theoretical side of celestial navigation. It describes the most appropriate methods for solving navigational problems and gives relevant examples and other data of interest to navigational practice. " The book is fantastic! It is one of the top two I have ever read!", the journalist of The Cruising World exclaimed me over the telephone. Apart from 106 pictures, tables and diagrams, the book contains carefully though - out work forms which have never been published elsewhere in the world. In addition, each chapter is superbly illustrated by renowned caricaturist. The reviewers of this book- Doc. Sofija Sadzakov, Research Fellow of the Opservatory of Belgrade, engineer Mladen Sutej, navigator and travel writer who sailed all around the world and the reputable academician Zvonko Maric- are well known to experts on the subject in the world. In the 90-ies the book was published in Serbian- Croatian and Spanish. However, due to some serious interest, we have decided to present it to the greater reading audience in English.Smooth sailing !!!

Book Synopsis Celestial Navigation by : Jeff Toghill
Download or read book Celestial Navigation written by Jeff Toghill and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1986-06-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the uninitiated, celestial navigation appears to be a somewhat frightening exercise in mathematics. In fact, the maximum mathematics involved in the new sight reduction systems is the addition of three lines of figures. Similarly, the apparent complexities of the solar and stellar systems take on a less frightening appearance when related to the lighthouses and similar earthly objects used for coastal navigation. Throughout this book, the author uses such a comparison between earthly and heavenly objects in explaining the close relationship between coastal and celestial navigation. In doing so, he reduces a complex subject to a simple and interesting one that can be absorbed by even the most non-mathematically minded. The book concentrates for much of its length on the plotting of the boat's position by sun, planets, and stars when out of sight of land. It also deals with related navigational routines such as checking the compass by using heavenly objects, taking radio time signals, and adjusting the sextant for day-to-day corrections. This is celestial navigation in its simplest form, presented in a way which even the most amateur navigator can understand and absorb.
