You're very welcome! By the way, I just added my PostScript plotting sheets to my site. I'll upload them here too, if there's any interest in them. Cheers!

Apologies, but I just found a bug ... of course. And it's a bug I thought I had already squashed. Maybe I'll get it right this time ... [Link]

Update
I have added the option to the sky chart to display all 1,535 stars in the basic FK5 catalogue (see screenshot, below). As with the navigational stars, corrections for proper motion have been included. There is a check-box below the chart to show or hide them. These will not be selectable in the almanac or sight reduction calculator. But if you hover your mouse over them, the calculated azimuth and altitude will be displayed. So, they can be used for navigation in a pinch ... you'll just have to plot the LOPs manually. Maybe I will change this in the future.
I have also tweaked the map alignment. Waypoints shouldn't be plotted off the edge of the map anymore [mostly], and the waypoints, DR and fix should be plotted a bit more accurately. (Although at this scale I admit it's hard to see the difference.) As always, the new version is available in the downloads section. Cheers! v 0.3.3 - 2021, Nov 7

New version available in the downloads section:
v 0.3.4 - 2022, Oct 24 · Added day of the week calculation on Almanac tab. · Added the option to display the celestial equator and ecliptic to the sky chart. · Added the ability to increment time on the Almanac tab. · Updated the delta-T values. · Moved the "Auto-Fill" button for the date of celestial sights and added an arrow to hopefully clarify the button's purpose.
