Any ideas on whats wrong?
Thanks,

Edit: ok, i found a topic by someone who has the same celestial navigation question as me, but why is the dead reckoning WAY off?

The celestial fix takes about 45 minutes to calculate and is fairly precise . Dead reckoning is just what it says , a reckoning calculated quickly to give a rough guide as to where you are . Its not precise otherwise you might as well use the vanilla plotting . There is nothing wrong with real navigation , it works exactly as intended .
