    Re: Basic celestial naviagtion using a scientific calculator

    David,

    I recommend trying the Canon F-710 scientific calculator which allows the entire entry of the sight reduction formula on the upper line with the answer on the lower line. Degrees minutes and tenths of minutes can be entered in ( ) as degrees + mm.mm/60. After a few problems with the Canon you will see how easy it is. At $6.50 new on amazon.com they are a bargain. There is a solar powered version for a few dollars more the F-766S.
