This manual was specifically designed to offer exercises to the students interested in mastering Celestial Navigation. These exercises complement, but are different from, those offered in the Celestial Navigation book. This printed version, available from retailers of marine books and from the larger distributors listed below, contain the questions, the work forms guiding the calculations, the data tables required for the problems, and the answers.

It will be most helpful to students who wish to verify and polish their Celestial Navigation skills before a long offshore journey. It will also be of considerable use to sailors who have studied the Celestial Navigation book but wish to strengthen their understanding and knowledge of the topic. Finally, it will allow the students following the free Power Point presentation of the course in eight sessions to do the exercises offered at regular intervals along the presentation, and check their answers.

The data tables at the end of this Exercise Manual are identical to the ones in the Celestial Navigation book.
