Matthew, Neither I have reached the higher spheres of CN.
When solving examples and exercises in old textbooks I frequently use Navigator "The Online Nautical Almanac". You can find it at:

An advantage, if you want to practice longhand, is that the pages almost are identical with the pages in the NA.
A drawback with the free version is that equation of time and meridian passage times are not included. But Eqn. of time at noon is easily calculated as GHA at 1200 converted to time. (The list will correct me if I am wrong.)
