thanks gap

no need to delete

now i am working on celestila fix position wich is a bit complicated ....
wich one need some math knowledge

Edit:
HO. 229 book

A very accurate method. It is produced in a six volume series. This course uses volume 3. The tables are used with the Nautical Almanac to obtain elements necessary to obtain position at sea. It is a straight forward method and requires no mathematical calculation beyond addition and subtraction of degrees and minutes and decimals of minutes. A popular method.

idk if they have it in WW II

I am afraid not

According to the following link, the particular nautical almanac that you are talking about was published sometime between 60's and 80's:

Some useful navigation resources:

http://www.offshoreblue.com/navigation/

P.S: most of the documents are in pdf format. If only we could open them in game... Unfortunately I think this topic has been commented by TDW already, and IIRC it is not possible

an informative short article about the workings of a sextant
