>>Why the name? Why not the more conventional CelNav?<<
Indeed...and in the context of the videos proper, they seem to refer to the process as "celestial navigation".
"Astro Nav" seems to be more British. Probably there is somebody at Vanderbilt, with responsibility for funding this course, who is taken with the idea of wearing an ascot. Probably they took elocution lessons from sombody in Cambridge, in the hopes that it would add 10 points to their IQ.
