I suggest joining your local Power Squadron chapter.  USPS has a series
of navigation courses running from basic coastal piloting to advanced
celestial.   And they have some really good instructors that will take
you through it step-by-step and answer any questions you have.

If I understand correctly, you're in the St. Louis area.   If you go to
http://www.usps.org/localusps/d30/, you can locate a chapter near where
you live or boat.   If I'm wrong about your geography, send me a private
reply and I'll steer you a list for the correct area.

With good instruction, celestial is not at all that difficult.  It's
some fairly simple techniques obfuscated by strange terminology.

Good luck!
