THE CLASSES

ADVANCED TOPICS IN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION The utility, speed, accuracy and versatility of celestial navigation can all increase signifi­cantly when taken beyond the elementary level. Topics will include: specialized shortcuts for finding latitude and longitude, great circle calculations and methods of checking sextant and compass by a tronomical observations. Students will develop personal work forms and calculator programs to streamline their own preferred sight reduction techniques. The method of lunar distance (longitude without a chronometer) will be covered if time permits. Prerequisite: Familiarity with the altitude-intercept method of sight reduction. Materials: Programmable, scientific calculator. Text: Self-conlained Celestial Navigation by J. Letcher. 7:00 p.m. Wednesdays Fee: $90 April 8 - May 27 Instructor: Paul Kamen

BASIC MARINE ELECTRICITY FOR BOATS A course designed to teach basic electrical toubleshooting, selection and installation of
