I'm trying to learn Celestial Nav on my own and I have a question regarding LAN sights...I understand the concept, the math and the conversion of ARC time.BUT for instance: mer pass + DR-LON(W) = GMT of LAN 12h 06m + 8h 09m 12s = 20h 15m 12s How does 20h 15m 12s help me in predicting LAN at my long....Is it that simple that I just don't see it..??? Thanks in Advance Barry Colman
