Latitude by Polaris without Time or Almanac

Latitude can be found from the sextant height of Polaris. We briefly review the standard method using timed sights and the Nautical almanac, but spend most time using a Regiment of the North Star, from which we deduce the correction based on other stars, without the need for watch or almanac. The principles behind latitude by Polaris are outlined, which depend on light rays from distant stars arriving parallel over the earth's orbit. This Polaris technique is from the book "GPS Backup with a Mark 3 Sextant" with subtitle: "All Instructions and Tables Included; for any Ocean, on any date. No Background in Celestial Navigation Required," which can be seen at https://www.starpath.com/catalog/book.... See especially the support page for that book (https://www.starpath.com/gpsbackup) that provides resources and practice exercises cited in the video. For history of the Regiment see: https://davidburchnavigation.blogspot... Details of the method presented here are at: https://davidburchnavigation.blogspot...

A goldmine for any one studying or teaching celestial navigation.
