How to find the times of evening or morning twilight so that the best observations of stars and planets can be made to obtain a fix.How to find the times of sunrise and sunset whether on shore or at sea.UNIT 11 - Finding the times of Sunrise, Sunset and Twilight using the Nautical Almanac. After calculating intercepts and azimuths of stars and planets, how to plot the lines of position to achieve the observed position (fix).UNIT 10 - Finding the observed position by plotting position lines from Simultaneous Star and Planet observations by: Using pre-computed sight reduction tables or electronic calculator to find the intercept and azimuth of stars and planets and plotting the position line.UNIT 9 - Position Lines using the Stars and Planets by

Steps are laid out in a clear and concise method.

Using pre-computed sight reduction tables or electronic calculator to find the intercept and azimuth of the sun and plotting the position line.

UNIT 8 - Position Lines Using the Sun by:

How by locating the heavenly bodies position on the celestial sphere and projecting it to earth we can use it, to obtain a line of position, indicating that we are located somewhere on that line of position (LOP).

How to set the sextant at the altitude (angle) so that the star can be quickly found.

How our Latitude may be found twice daily using the Pole star.

How we obtain our Latitude (distance north or south of the equator) each day by using a heavenly bodies altitude as it passes due north or south of the boat.

Taking sights in your own backyard for practice and establishing the position of your house or apartment.

Sight taking techniques in various weather conditions.

How a sextant is used to measure the altitude of a celestial body above the horizon.

Using the Nautical Almanac in time calculations.

The use of time in locating a celestial body with reference to our own position.

How to calculate the time at any location in the world.

How the position of a celestial body in the heavens can be established with reference to the observers horizon and meridian.

How to identify our position and that of a celestial body relative to the equator and the Greenwich meridian.

( The Units for Celestial 2 expand on these units and includes The Sailings.) UNIT 1 - The Earth/The Celestial Sphere Unit by Unit description of Content of Celestial 1 is as follows.

Prior to registration we can discuss the choice of courses and methods and give you any advice you may need.

The sight calculation device for this category is the Electronic Calculator. Astro Level 1 is available for Fishing Master certification preparation. Celestial 2 consists of the advanced areas of Astro Navigation including The Sailings, required under the Marine Safety examination regulations.

For candidates for Transport Canada, Marine Safety, Certification: The second category involves Celestial 1 (Astro) and Celestial 2 (Astro Level 2).

For sail and power association members,Canadian Yachting Association (CYA), or independent mariners: Celestial 1 completely equips for all types of offshore voyages.

We offer two levels for Celestial Navigation courses:

Our navigation courses break down the learning process into manageable blocks that build on one another to cover all aspects of celestial navigation and, in the case of professional mariners, prepare them for the relevant exams. Even in the age of satellite powered GPS, computer navigation systems, and advanced radio-location, determining latitude and longitude positions teaches important fundamentals of navigation, provides a back-up navigation system in emergencies, and remains a fascinating hobby. Navigation by fixing your position using angles between celestial bodies and the horizon has been around for thousands of years.
