Hello Everybody,  I know nothing (literaly nothing) about calculator usage in celestial navigation.  I find the idea semi-interesting and would like to give it a tiny try.  I remembered that I have a TI-59 that I bought new in the late 70s (I think).  I also have the Marine Navigation module/program and all the back up literature...most of which seems blindingly foggy to me a first sight (no pun intended).  In order to use the TI-59, I'd have to buy a battery...not expensive, but not cheap.  So I ahope some of you may have had experience with the TI-59.  Did it woork well?  Was it reasonably easy for someone who knows paper sight reduction to use in spite of instructions like: press KK/xyz/ to get the answer?

I see that the module does not incllude an almanac, but I don't think that would be a problem for me.  And I see that the program can produce two sight fixes...Do later, more advanced programs (on other calculators) produce fixes from three or more sights?

Again, I just like to benefit from others' experiences.

Best regards,

John P
