you found one. now, just where is that course given and just how much time is
given to Lunar Distances and just how many people on the planet who know
"celestial navigation" even know that an accurate timepiece is not required?

felton, you are a sophist, a term for a sophomore poly sci major of limited
intelligence trying to explain to the girls why he couldn't get in engineering
college.

dougies, until I posted you had never even heard of the term "Lunar
Distances"
and now you are claiming to be an expert.

wanna show us just which "celestial navigation" course taught just where it
is
that includes Lunar Distances as part of the corriculum?

"Practice with "lunars" is certainly an aerobatic flight in the world
of celestial navigation, but those who do it become the very best
celestial navigators, in part because very precise sights are requried
as well as careful analysis"

If you could navigate to the google page, you will find many of them

Lunar
distances needs no timepiece at all, let alone an accurate one.

Sorry, Jax... wrong again. You should be proud of your perfect record.

"Celestial" navigation means to use "celestial" bodies. And the lunar
distance is a method of telling time, making the "celestial" bodies
themselves a timepiece. So you are doubly wrong. Your mom would be so
proud!
