Which do you prefer to use during CelNav work- a pencil or a pen?
Me? A #2 mechanical pencil from Walmart.
Cheap replacement lead can be bought at DollarTree.
Good stuff.

All of my nav (celestial or coastal) work is done with a .9 mm mechanical pencil. More sturdy than the .5 mm or .7 mm

Do you mean one of the old style mechanical pencils you sharpen by placing it vertically into a sharpener (that had sandpaper) and rotating the pencil about?

No need to sharpen.
That's an impressive pencil. Pentel does make a variety of pencils but I didn't know they made a .9mm one?
When at Walmart next time I'll take a look for one and hopefully give it a try. They have clones of Pentel .5mm and .7mm and Pentels for about $1.50 USD. Nice pencils and easy to use. They last for years.
