otn, you just explained why celestial navigation is worthless. you also
explained why celestial navigation as the term is used does not include Lunar
Distances.

btw, Lunar Distances were in common use on most ships until about the middle of
the 19th century, not the beginning.

guys, until yesterday you never even heard of Lunar Distances and today you
are
all experts.

Yet, not one of you clowns can find a single course available in "celestial
navigation" that includes Lunar Distances. Not one.

ROFLMAO I've always enjoyed watching your vain attempts to squirm/write
your way out of the messes, you write your way into...... I see nothings
changed and only you are dumb enough to buy into your BS.

In answer to your typically stupid post:
Anyone who has had any type of in depth education on navigation, either
formal or informal, will be aware of "Lunar Distances".
However, since we were not living prior to the 19th century, there is no
need for us to have more than a passing familiarity with "nuts and
bolts" of the particular system to find longitude.
Hence the reason you will find few if any courses which teach "celestial
navigation" which will waste an inordinate amount of time teaching
something which can be performed much more easily, by other methods of
celestial navigation.

G Gotta check my settings ..... thought I had your useless ass, killfiled.
