Astro Nav Tables

[Rowana]

Does anyone know where on the web I can get free copies of the necessary tables to do a bit of practice?

I'll not be using them for serious navigation. Just a bit of fun really.

TIA

The 2012 Nautical Almanac is available to download here:

It won't print for you but not too hard to fix that if you are so minded.

Duly noted.

They also have a few sight reduction programmes
For a neat calculator and full almanac go to
www.pangolin.co.nz
28 day free trial from date of download-you can then either buy or reset computer date to reuse.
Oh yes-if you want the Nautical Almanac Paperback get the US Naval Observatory Edition-about £7 as opposed to UK Admiralties edition at about £35!
