Each measurement taken with a sextant (a 'sight') converts to a line of position (LoP) on a chart, the intersections of two or more such lines providing a position fix Use this app to plan/enter sights and inspect the resulting LoPs -- Features -- * Realtime or frozen computed horizon in panoramic projection. Use for star/planet identification, sight preparation and entry, true bearings etc. * Sight reduction (ephemerides calculated internally) for the 58 almanac-listed navigational stars. Extendable to the sun, moon and planets via subscription * Almanac rising/setting/transits/twilights * Sextant-like functionality via the camera Licensed under Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA), available at: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
