About
Orastra is an offline celestial navigation aid for mariners, students, and anyone learning practical sight reduction workflows.
Plan and review observations, work from a dead reckoning reference, inspect almanac material, and plot celestial fixes on a single map-based interface. Orastra is designed to keep celestial reduction separate from GPS, so any GPS position shown in the app remains a reference overlay only and is not part of the reduction itself.
Features:
Offline celestial navigation workflow
Dead reckoning reference and running-fix support
Map-based plotting for DR, celestial fixes, and reference GPS
Almanac access and onboard reference material
Sky guide and time tools for observation planning
Logbook for saving and reviewing fixes
Navigation aid only. Results depend on observation quality, timing, and correct operational use. All inputs, outputs, and navigational decisions must be independently verified.
