- I am starting to learn Celestial Navagation and find that there are many
- 'systems' by which sights are reduced. Is there a 'most popular' method?
- If one wants to really understand what is going on does one select a
- different method? Suggestions for both are appreciated.

- I currently have a book by Arthur A. Ageton 'Manual of celestial navagation'
- and Bowditch's 'American Practical Navagator (1962)'
