Celestial Navigation with the S Table - Book
$9.95
Mike Pepperday's S Table is a complete sight reduction method for all bodies in just nine pages of tables. Rather than choosing a separate assumed position for each body, you work directly from your DR position, so the table gives intercepts the same way a navigation calculator does. For several years the S Table was printed in the commercial edition of the Nautical Almanac alongside the Concise Tables, and it was published as this separate booklet by popular request.
Paradise Cay published it in 1992. The booklet is small enough to keep in a sextant box as an independent backup to GPS and electronic navigation.
