Some advice please.
How would early inland explorers/navigators determined a noon latitude when the sun was too far south ,for instance, making the use of an artificial horizon impractical.
I currently use a fence at home during the summer months but carrying a fence around the countryside is also impractical, plus the neighbors might object.
Excuse the ignorance but my knowledge of celestial nav is rather limited.
