À propos de l'application

Celestial navigation exploits the principle that every measurement taken with a sextant (a 'sight') converts to a line of position on a chart, the intersections of two or more such lines providing a position fix.

Use this offline compatible app to plan/enter sights and inspect the resulting lines of position.

* The 58 navigational stars of the Nautical Almanac.

* Realtime computed horizon in panoramic projection. Use for star/planet identification, sight preparation, true bearings etc.
