Over the winter I have been getting my Celestial Navigation up to speed.
I have a few passages planned over the summer that I will have time to do some old fashioned navigation with sextant and universal plotting sheets. Ultimately this is for a RYA Ocean Ticket sometime in the future.
I've been looking at both the Pub 229 - Sight Reduction Tables for Marine Navigation and Pub 249 - Sight Reduction Tables for Air Navigation.
While both publications have the same data with different layouts I would be interested to hear if anybody has a preference or is it just what you are used to?
