I reluctantly came to the same place. I like the concept, and am willing to deal with a reasonable degree of navigational error, but having to do the actual computations, over and over again, was too much. After a few days of Celestial computations, and fussing over every course or speed change in between, I felt worn down and had little energy left for making an attack.

Harmsway!'s method eliminates most of the math chores, but also, many of the navigational errors. The game doesn't provide us with good options here.
