For what it's worth, I have wrapped up the first edition of my informal "Celestial Navigation Study Notes". I made them for myself as I worked through the CPS CN course this winter, but others seem to find some value in them too. Obviously these notes do not replace a qualified instructor and proper textbooks, and serve only as a "newbie" introduction to CN. Web version: http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/CelestNotes/IntroCN.htm (Optimized for web-clipping to a Palm handheld computer: see "About"). Adobe PDF version (0.9 MB, 129 pages, requires Adobe Reader version 5 or above): http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/CelestNotes/CN_Notes.pdf Caveat emptor, and all that disclaimer stuff. Many thanks to everybody who provided long-distance help to us during the year as we worked through the course.
