Default Navigation Question

Yet, not one of you clowns can find a single course available in "celestial

not one of you guys thought to check King's Point. There may be other places
that teach Lunar Distances, but I have never heard of which. It is a skill
obsolete since the middle of the 19th century when chronometers because cheap
enough to become ubiquitous.



Didn't check and won't check. If KP teaches "Lunar Distances", it will
be as an exercise in history, not as a license necessity.
BTW, it was not a question of chronometers becoming cheap enough .... it
was a question of them becoming reliable enough to be used on a
shipboard environment..... You still need to learn to do more in depth
"Google" searches, before you try to write as if you are an expert.
