Dominique F. Prinet www.CelestialNavigationBook.com Your comments and recommendations will help improve this book. Please email them to [email protected]. Thank you.
The Exercise Manual for students was designed to facilitate the work of instructors using the free slide presentation available from the website www.CelestialNavigationBook.com. This downloadable version of the Exercise Manual allows students to print the questions offered at regular intervals in the presentation, together with the work-forms guiding the calculations and the answers. Most students taking a course from an instructor following the slide presentation will have the associated book “Celestial Navigation using the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No. 249”. In order to facilitate the download process, this free version of the
Exercise Manual does not include the data tables required for the calculations since they already are in the Celestial Navigation book. All exercises are for the year 2003. The complete version of the Exercise Manual, with all the data tables, can be purchased in print or electronic format (pdf) from Amazon or retailers of marine books.
Acknowledgments I am grateful to the many students who offered valuable suggestions over the years and in particular to Steven Buchi, Eng., who verified all the answers. I would also like to express my appreciation to Linda Mitsui, Graphic Designer, who has spent countless hours setting up the text, tables and graphics.

12. Local Hour Angle Given the longitude of the boat, and the GHA of the sun, is the sun east or west of us? In other words, are we taking the sight in the morning or afternoon? How many degrees of longitude is the sun’s GP away from out boat, measured westward, i.e. the Local Hour Angle (LHA). Note: LHA = distance of from the boat longitude to the sun’s GP, counted westward.
If boat longitude is West, LHA = GHA – boat longitude; If boat longitude is East, LHA = GHA + boat longitude.
Add 360º to the GHA in order to allow the subtraction of the west longitude of the boat if required. Remove 360º from the result if the addition of the east longitude of the boat results in a number larger than 360.

13. Latitude by noon sights Determine the boat latitude knowing the maximum sun altitude of the sun over the horizon (Ho max, sun crossing of boat meridian), and the Dec of the sun at the time of sight (calculated from the Almanac). At noon (boat-meridian time), the sun is at its zenith when it crosses the observer’s meridian. A sight on the sun at that instant allows the calculation of the latitude from the sun altitude Ho max: the latitude is the Zenith Distance (ZD = 90° – Ho) plus or minus the Declination of the sun, depending on whether the sun’s declination is North or South of the equator. If the boat is between the equator and the sun’s GP, then the latitude is Dec – ZD. Dec & Lat. “same name”
Dec & Lat. “contrary names”

16. Azimuth Angle of the sun “Z” (bearing of the sun “Zn”), and calculated altitude “Hc” from the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No. 249 (without any interpolation). Given an assumed latitude (in round degrees), a Declination of the sun (also in round degrees), and a LHA (also in round degrees) between the assumed longitude of the boat and the sun meridian (GHA), we can read, in the Sight Reduction Tables, the azimuth “Z” of the sun, and calculate its bearing “Zn”. We can also read the calculated altitude “Hc” that the sun would have if we were exactly at our assumed position. Assume that the sun crosses the meridian of Greenwich at exactly 12:00 each day. This allows the calculation of the sun’s GHA without the use of the Almanac tables. Assumed latitude

17. Bearing of the sun "Z" (sun's azimuth “Zn”), and calculated altitude “Hc” from the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No. 249 (with interpolation for the ' of Dec). Given an assumed latitude (in round degrees), and a Local Hour Angle (also in round degrees) between the assumed meridian of the boat and the sun meridian, we can read, in the Sight Reduction Tables, the azimuth “Z” of the sun; then calculate the bearing “Zn” of the sun; and calculate the altitude “Hc” that the sun would have if we were exactly at our assumed position. By comparing Hc with Ho (actual altitude of the sun, measured with the sextant), we can tell how far off we are from our assumed position. This is the Marcq Saint Hilaire method.

18. Choices of “Assumed Lat.” and “Assumed Long.” to simplify calculations using the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No. 249 Given a DR latitude, we can chose our assumed latitude as the nearest latitude in round degrees. We can chose our assumed longitude in such a way that the Local Hour Angle (angle between the assumed meridian of the boat and the sun meridian) is a round number of degrees: If the boat is WEST of the Greenwich meridian (west longitude), LHA = GHA-Assumed Boat Longitude. We need to choose, for our assumed longitude, the same number of minutes than in the GHA, since the minutes will cancel out by subtraction. In the case of longitude EAST, LHA = GHA + Assumed Boat Longitude. We need to choose, for our assumed longitude, a number of minutes equal to (60' – minutes of GHA): the minutes will cancel out by addition. In either case, the degrees of assumed boat longitude may have to be adjusted by 1 (up or down) so that the assumed position is as close as possible as the DR. DR coordinates: latitude longitude

19. Review exercise: From the Sight Reduction Tables Pub. No 249, we can determine the bearing of the sun “Zn" and calculated altitude “Hc”. By comparing Hc with our observed altitude Ho, we can calculate by how much the assumed arc of circle of position should be moved (Marcq Saint Hilaire method). Sight No: DR latitude DR longitude Sun’s GHA Sun’s Dec (corrected) Observed altitude Ho

Find the Local Hour Angle LHA; the coordinates of the assumed position, the computed altitude Hc; the azimuth angle Z; the bearing of the sun Zn; and the intercept (“Towards” or “Away from” the sun’s GP). Use the following work forms, with a blank globe, and the pre-calibrated blank Mercator charts.

1. James Cook sun sights On June 22, 1770, Captain Cook furled all sails and took a sun sight, using his new Harrison chronometer H4. In his Nautical Almanac, he noted that, on that day, the sun was crossing the Greenwich meridian at 12:08. After correcting for the chronometer error, he established the UTC time of his first sight to be 10:08. He measured the altitude of the sun above the horizon and, after correcting his sextant for index error, Dip, and the main correction (1/2 diameter, parallax, & refraction), he found Ho = 38º 40'. From a noon sight, he determined his latitude to be approximately 15º 00.0' N. Later-on that day, he took another sight on the sun, at 16:08 UTC. He found Ho = 54º 40'.
a) What are the coordinates of the points on earth over which the sun was when he took the sights (GP of the sun) in the morning and in the afternoon?
Morning sun Lat. (Dec): ________________

6. Estimation of position After three weeks at sea in your trusty life raft somewhere on the North Atlantic at a latitude between 30º and 35º N, you take a sight on the sun at a time when you think it is highest above the horizon (top of the curve). Your wrist watch, on UTC, reads July 19, 2003 at 16:32. You remember reading that, on that day, the sun crossed the meridian of Greenwich at 12:12. You measure Ho = 78º. Any hope?

9. Estimated longitude, and calculated latitude, by noon sight A graph is often used to determine the maximum sun altitude over the horizon (Ho max, crossing of the boat meridian), and the (approximate) time of meridian crossing. Use the attached graph to estimate Ho max on Feb. 01, 2003, as well as the time when the sun crossed the boat meridian. The sun Declination will need to be calculated for the exact time of sight.
9A. Estimation of longitude Longitude = [time for the sun to travel from the Greenwich meridian to the boat meridian] x 15º/h.
Multiply the hours of travel of the sun by 15º/h. Multiply the minutes of travel of the sun by (15º/60)ºh. Or use the Almanac (Appendix 2).
1. E stimate the UTC time when the sun crossed the boat meridian, i.e. when the sun reached Ho max (use the attached graph). For increased precision, draw a horizontal line (constant altitude) and take the middle of the segment between the two points of the intersection with the curve. Time when the sun crossed the boat meridian: ____ h____min
UTC.
2. Note the time when the sun crossed the Greenwich meridian (Almanac, 01 Feb 2003) ____h____min
UTC
3. Calculate the total time of travel of the sun between the meridians of Greenwich and of the boat. 4. From this time of travel at 15˚/h, determine the longitude. Use the Almanac (“Increments and Corrections”) to determine the arc corresponding to the minutes and seconds of travel. Boat-meridian time (UTC) Greenwich meridian time (UTC) Sun travel time (difference)
