Each measurement taken with a sextant (a 'sight') converts to a
line of position (LoP) on a chart the intersections of two or more
such lines providing a position fix.
Use this app to plan/enter sights and graphically inspect the resulting LoPs
Features -
* Realtime computed horizon in panoramic projection. Use for star/planet identification sight preparation true bearings etc.
* Sight reduction for the 58 navigational stars of the Nautical Almanac ephemerides calculated internally.
* Graphical plot of LoPs about Assumed Position (intercept method) with fix error ellipse
* Import sights from camera-based companion app Sextant Frame
* Rising/setting/transits almanac
* Lunar distances conversion to Universal Time

All functionality extended to the sun moon planets
