55.37 N is the result of latitude calculation.
You need to know which hemispehere you are on before this calculation (to decide if you will be adding, or subtracting and how )
How do you now initially you haven't cross equator if you are completely lost?

Sorry but if i would have to use some excel, i would rather turn my realism to show my position itself, i would like to use only almanac or whatever else what was available at 1939 u-boat
How to get LHA from Almanac? I want to find even longitude for myself, that Excel needs to calculate it somehow, but i haven't found how

Maybe i can ask even another way:
1) Are we able to get longitude in another time, than when the sun is at highest position? (I expect no)
2) Can i get longitude by knowledge which GMT time is the sun at highest position? I expect so, because it should be something like +15 degrees E for every hour after 12:00AM or +15 degrees W for every hours before 12:00AM minus GHA

Thank you for quick response!

Is it possible to make fix by polar star here?
It should be easiest way isn't?

Thanks for all your work, this is one of best mods ever

yup u can make a fix using the polaris ....

Just to confirm Sjizzle, even shooting Polaris, you have to use the more in-depth method of getting your position via Altitudes and using Aries as a known?

For any point between the Equator and the North Pole, latitude is obtained simply by measuring the altitude of Polaris: at 30°N the star is 30° above the horizon, at 63°N, it is 63° above the horizon, and so on

I'd like to learn how to use Celestial Navigation in game.
I've read the post here, but I get confused with finding my Longitude.

Anyone have another tutorial or more documentation? (Get get confused easily )
A video would be great too.
