Astro requires plotting sheets (or graph paper if you can use transverse tables), and rather than buy them, there is a good downloadable one for A4 paper <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.starpath.com/online/celestial/plota.pdf>here</A>

If you don't want to buy a pad of plotting sheets, £5.95 for 25 Imray Sight forms & plotting sheets, isn't it cheaper & easier to just make up a plotting sheet from graph paper for the specific Latitude you are using?
Whats the cost of using a printer?

Guess you didnt follow the link, which would have taken you to a pdf file with a plotting sheet applicable to all latitudes and suitable for use on A4 or A3 paper.

Yes I do use my printer for these, and was trying to provide a service to others doing the same course. /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

I like those Imray sheets. Used them for plotting my sights when I did the practical bit for the YM Ocean. The examiner liked them as well. There is some good stuff on the web which I've lost the address for!
