Hi Lars, I came across your program whilst browsing for
a python celestial navigation library. It looks interesting - thanks for posting it. How does the bubble sextant differ to a standard marine sextant? regards, James.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
in a bubble sextant you have a small bubble as an artificial horizont. You put the bubble over the star (and then need to do some calculations as the bubble acts in respones to i.e. the coriolis force).
Regards
Lars
