Maybe you have already purchased a Celestial Navigation class or Book and are struggling to learn Celestial Navigation due to the poor course materials provided.

Maybe you are just about to sail on an ocean passage and want to have instructions in your computer or IPAD for performing Celestial Navigation, just in case your electronics fail during the passage.
