Evening Star Celestial Navigation (Jupiter and Polaris) Sight Reduction from a Tall Ship 

Thanks LyingCat! Safe sailing :)

No you're correct I mis-wrote that sorry. The math part is right but I should have said "fast", my bad! Thanks for letting me know, I'll make a note for others about that :)

Thank you! I'm gonna feel really dumb if it turns out that the world is actually flat lol.

Getting fussy… do you need an increment also for GHA of Aries before computing LHA Aries? Or, does this not matter too much when using the Polaris tables to get latitude?

@@NavigationTraining Don't worry, will never happen. Unlike them, we have knowledge, experience, and expertise in this field.

@@NavigationTraining I mean, look back at the concepts used in celestial navigation. The celestial sphere, celestial poles, declination, and longitude are basically latitude and longitude but are used to determine the coordinates of a celestial body on the celestial sphere. All of this is impossible on a flat earth. Flat Earth can't have two celestial poles - because they don't have a south pole in the first place. So where is 90 degrees latitude S over a plane? Another thing, the south celestial pole is right at your zenith if you stay at 90 S. They should feel dumb for rejecting everything we know today, but they are too shameless to understand why they are wrong. It's actually called dunning kruger.

Hi Wesley you're definitely correct you can add the increment for GHA for Aries too. It won't make a huge difference but I skipped that part moving too quickly. Thanks for letting me know I'll make a note for others :)

Nicely done, I just checked it out :)

@@NavigationTraining Thanks for dropping by. I've watched your complete sight reduction video at least a dozen times. At least. It's the one video that ties the sight reduction process together better than any other.

Hi Thad.👍
