We don't want to lug around more paper than necessary.
For celnav work what have you found to be the minimum amount of paper or documents you need with you to carry out a sight reduction and plot?
For me it's-
- Altitude Correction Tables
- TABLE 4. - GHA and Declination of the Sun for the Years 2001 to 2036- Argument “Orbit Time”
- TABLE 4 — GHA ♈ FOR THE YEARS 2011 - 2019
- Increments & Corrections- Sun only on 2 pages
- Increments & Corrections for Sun, Planets, Aries, Moon (the "yellow pages")
- Table 5- Correction to Tabulated Altitude for Minutes of Declination
- Conversion of Arc to Time
- USNO's Navigational Star Chart
Finally- Pub.No. 249 Vol. 1 (stars) Vol. 2 or Vol. 3 - Latitude pages printed out for where I'm sailing. I don't own any of the volumes.
