Hello

In my opinion the best hand held calculator for celestial /terrestrial work
is the hP 41 C or 41 CX with the navigational pack. These calc. are no
longer made but are generally available on eBay etc. (Oddly enough the nav
pack has a flaw...calc. GC dist/course say every 10* long. between eastern
and western hemisphere...).
There are other and newer hand helds avail at higher prices. STARPILOT is in
my opinion is a great program...but unless you have fantastic vision you
will need a magnifying glass to see the data on the screen of the TEXAS
INST.   TI-89 Titanium.. (I bought the pgr for use with a laptop...after
buying the TI 89)
Regards
Irv

Subject: [NavList 4464] sight reduction calculator


hello every one,

i 'm trying to  get a hendheld calculator to expedite my sight reduction
work.
if i use a regular sciencefic calculator it take me like 10 minutes per
sight. some time i want to trevel light so a calculator will be a good help.
i can see on internet are a lot of programs ,softwhere   and many
others. the problem with the little palms or pocket pc they depend on
recargebile battery, that mean if you  are somere isoleted you ca not use it
for long time. i see  the starpilot as a good alternative for a long period
of time but reading the instruction on internet i see  for sun  is upper
limb or lower limb, i do use a bubble sextant so i do not see that option.
any advice will be more than wellcome
thank you
