Stellarium provides the seconds necessary to reduce the sight to a fix.

Another stand-alone program that's been around since the days of AOTD is MQK.

It allows you to input a four digit Kriegsmarine grid and transforms it into geo coord. I use it to give me an Assumed Position for my sight reductions.

I only use the celestial canopy in SH3 to determine whether celestial bodies are visible or not. It determines if an actual sight can be taken.

The other thing that is wrong about SH3 is SUNRISE and SUNSET.

Rise occurs when the upper limb breaks surface, NOT when it's half above the horizon; and likewise, Set occurs when the upper limb dips below the horizon.

This problem is more noticable at the higher lattitudes, where the sun takes for ever to get halfway. I vaguely remember using the time that the interior light switches from red to normal, and visa versa, as an indication of sunrise/set - this seemed to be more accurate.

I just need to fire up SH3 again..

I know what you mean, Van. Since the DRM was removed from SHV, I've been investigating those waters.
