Celestial navigation.

Fix by two circles of position: vector solution.

With a sextant take two altitudes, correct them and obtain the observed altitudes: Ho.

Take the Nautical Almanac and find the coordinates of the celestial bodies: GHA, declination.

Use this app to calculate the two solutions, and to plot the circles of position, or circumferences of equal altitude on Google maps.

Running fix:

- The app moves the first sight to the time of the second, taking into account the motion of the observer.

Method explained in the papers:

- Vector Solution for the intersection of two Circles of Equal Altitude. (Andrés Ruiz González. Journal of Navigation 2008, 61:355-365. The Royal Institute of Navigation).

- Use of rotation matrices to plot a circle of equal altitude. (Andrés Ruiz. JOURNAL OF MARITIME RESEARCH, Vol 8, Nº3, 2011)
