Celestial Navigation using Stellarium v11. Step by Step

Hi folks,

I've come up with this procedure. This is a step-by-step procedure I am currently doing in SH4 and I'd like to share and see how it can be done in a better and optimized way. For some time I have posted this here and I've been gladly helped a lot.

The doc is in Google Docs, I suggest clicking on the File Menu and "Download original". Viewing in Google Docs distorts the document.

Forgot to mention: If for some reason python cannot load the save game file I realized that in the game's navigation map there were some Mark fixes (the pencil tool) that were without names (Mark 1, Mark 2 etc). Erase those and save the game again. Python should work. This happens if you do a lot of pencil marks on the map saves and reloads and for some reason the Marks will have no name on them. This kinds of "scramble" the saved file python looks for. If you are in doubt as to how many marks you have across the map just find one or create a new one than shift-delete it. It will erase ALL pencil marks on the map.
