Download or read book Celestial Navigation in the GPS Age written by John Karl and published by Paradise Cay Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books on celestial navigation take shortcuts in explaining concepts; incorrect diagrams and discussion are often used for the sake of moving the student along quickly. This book tells the true story-and the whole story. It conveys celestial navigation concepts clearly and in the shortest possible time.It's tailored for navigation in the GPS age-a time of computers, calculators, and web resources. Although it covers all of the traditional methods of 'working a sight, ' the primary thrust is using the (under $10) scientific calculator. By using equations that you key into your calculator, this book guides you toward a better understanding of the concepts of celestial navigation.You will learn novel ways to plot lines of position, ways to check your sextant accurately by star sights, and how to tell what time it is from a moon sight. The many appendices are a treasure of references and explanations of abstract ideas. Celestial Navigation is a crucial skill for the offshore navigator to know, this book provides the shortest path to that knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ideal introduction to astronomy and astro navigation. 178 letter size pages packed with full colour illustrations, detailed diagrams and clear explanations. This book focuses on those aspects of astronomy that are essential for a complete understanding of astro navigation - a must for sailors, navigators, nautical colleges and navigation tutors. Teachers and students of many other subjects including geography and mathematics will also find this book interesting, entertaining and very informative. The only book of its kind! The final book of the 'Astro Navigation Demystified' trilogy, Author's preface: Astronomy is a vast and complex subject and when I was taught astro navigation, I often wished my tutor would 'cut to the chase' and focus on only those aspects of astronomy that were relevant. When I taught navigation myself, I searched high and low for an astronomy book that would allow me to pick out just those topics that I needed to teach my students but I was never able to find one. For many years, I meant to write such a book myself to help other astro navigation tutors and students and now, at last, I have found time to do so.

Download or read book The Motion of the Observer in Celestial Navigation written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of celestial navigation is the determination of the latitude and longitude of a vessel at a specific time, through the use of observations of the altitudes of celestial bodies. Each observation defines a circle of position on the surface of the Earth, and the small segment of the circle that passes near the observer's estimated position is represented as a line of position (LOP). A position fix is located at the intersection of two or more LOPs. This construction works for a fixed observer or simultaneous observations. However, if the observer is moving, the LOPs from two consecutive observations do not necessarily intersect at a point corresponding to the observer's position at any time; if three or more observations are involved, there may be no common intersection. Since celestial navigation normally involves a single observer on a moving ship, something has to be done to account for the change in the observer's position during the time required to take a series of observations. This report reviews the methods used to deal with the observer's motion. A basic familiarity with the procedures, terminology, and notation of celestial navigation is assumed.

Download or read book Celestial Navigation written by David Burch and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been used for 30 years, updated periodically as needed. More than 20,000 students have successfully learned ocean navigation from these materials and gone on to cross oceans or circumnavigate the globe. This book covers how to find 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 book, which also includes clear explanations of how it works and how to do it well. Plus this book 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, and more. At the end of this book, you will be ready for ocean navigation. The book includes: text, practice problems, tables selections, detailed glossary, and full solutions. Printable work forms, plotting sheets, and other resources are available at no charge from www.starpath.com/celnavbook. Preface to the Second Edition: We are pleased to say that after ten more years of using this text we do not find reason to change the basic approach and methods of the teaching. We still use most of the same examples, which are now quite old, but that is the beauty of celestial navigation. It has not changed, so we do not benefit in any way from making all new examples, which would bring with them more chance of error in a book of many numbers. We have, however, notably improved and expanded the book. Each section has been updated and reformatted for a clearer presentation, often in response to student questions over the years. New graphics have been added and older ones all updated. There is much new content in the text, especially in the In-Depth chapter, including more detailed discussion of the sailings and more background on the principles. New sections were added on general ocean navigation and optimizing the fixes. We have also updated the electronic navigation section, as most ocean navigators will also be using other tools besides celestial.

Download or read book Astronavigation written by K.A. Zischka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book acts as a manual for the ancient methods of navigating by the stars, which continue to provide the sailor or pilot with a timeless means of determining location. Despite the prevalence of GPS, a comprehensive set of formulae that can be evaluated on any inexpensive scientific calculator in the event of a catastrophic software or systems failure is a vital failsafe. It also serves as a living link to centuries of explorers from centuries past. Beginning with the basics of positional astronomy, this guide moves on to the more complex math necessary to understand the ephemerides, tables showing the future positions of the stars and planets. These astronomical almanacs were the satellite navigation of their day. The objective of this book is twofold: to provide the reader with a concise, comprehensible manual on positional astronomy as it applies to astro-navigation and to furnish the concise algorithms for finding the position of the Sun and various navigational stars at any given instant. In a world where too many mariners and aeronauts rely solely on technology and are vulnerable to solar flares, electrical issues, and the like, this knowledge can be a life-saving backup, not to mention a fascinating study in its own rights. Included is an exact mathematical way to determine your position in the air or on the sea far more quickly and accurately than by using the old celestial navigational method, without even needing to know or understand the underlying mathematics. There is even a section that teaches how to measure the azimuth of a star using an analog wrist watch so if a sextant gets damaged, locating position is still possible. This book offers mathematicians and adventurers a way to determine position when the skies go dark. The U.S. Navy has recently realized that their electronic navigation systems are vulnerable to cyberattack, and as a result has instructed the Naval Academy to begin teaching celestial navigation again.
