Astronomical Navigation is a book written for the enjoyment of learning to know the sky and to use that knowledge to obtain the ship's position by observing the stars.
This updated 8th edition includes more than 160 figures, mostly in colour, which simplifies the visualisation and study of planes, circles and lines; and it uses a renewed definition of the triangle of position that simplifies the handling of this concept in practice, reducing the typical sources of error, making it unnecessary to remember formulas and the use of sign criteria that are soon forgotten.
In addition to exercises and solved examples, this edition contains something much appreciated by many readers: multiple-choice exercises such as those currently proposed in the different exams for the Yacht Captain's certificate in various Autonomous Communities. Whether you are a student of a nautical qualification or simply want to get your head into the skies, you will find this book extremely interesting and easy to read.
