  Celestial Navigation is a self-teaching book designed for those with a grounding in coastal navigation. Dealing first of all with the broad concepts of astro-navigation, Gerry Smith takes the reader through the basic skills needed to take sun sights and then plot a position. At each stage of learning there is a summary of the facts as well as exercises to test understanding, before the reader progresses to the next stage.
