Celestial Navigation: Learn How to Master One of the Oldest Mariner's Arts

A great beginning reference for novice sailors. Don't stop here, though.

ok

Very clear and concise. The diagrams are excellent and make the math simple. The only complaint I have is with the type setting in the kindle edition. In many places what should be a ‘-‘ sign is replaced with a ‘?’ This was very confusing at first but wasn’t hard to deal with when I figured out what the issue was. The book also makes references to pages which doesn’t work well for kindles.

A must for anyone that wants to be able use a sextant. I highly recommend. Practice, Practice, Practice you will find it fun and maybe a new hobby.

Concise, really really good illustrations. No wasted words Once you have this under your belt, go to Burch for a very detailed treatment, I did Google some terms where he wasn’t as detailed as I wanted, but you don’t need to do that to grasp the material. I’ve looked at older books by Kelch and Toghill but they lack the illustrations and detail. What I ended up doing was working from this book to Burch, back and forth. You certainly need Burch after this book, if you are going to take a test or actually navigated. Start here.

I checked this book out from my library and liked it a lot. For me, cel nav isn't something I can read once and get it, so I bought this book. Same good material but the book size is smaller than my library edition and this made reading the tables very hard.

…..Celestial Navigation it’s old tradition in boating any vessel….and best basic tool to know how to handle as a back up in case of today GPS and other electronic equipment failures for some reason….. the author Mr. Tom Cunliffe it’s easy to fallow step by step clear and useful professional instructions in this valuable book : Celestial Navigation…..thank you so much..

Concise and well written. Good diagrams. Explains the basics of celestial navigation without getting mired in extraneous detail.

Buen producto

I like it more than a previous edition. Diagrams and pictures very helpful. Still some questionable moments there. Can be improved. Some parts can be explaind mor simple, in different way. I don't regret of buying it.

This book can't be bad. It's perfect and good explanation is there

Thank you.
