You see if you don't have the HO 249 and or HO 229 (ex HO 214) It is not so easy to find the stars quickly after sunset (for a better horizon) or early in the morning (as soon as the horizon is OK).

So with that (as you can see on nav 32), it facilitated the job.

This is probably what most seaman have today in addition to the GPS positioning.

By the way, how are you doing with the program?
After doing many, many sights (stars, sun and the moon) the positions are quite OK like in the book, while in Opencpn you always have to lift the ambiguity (but that is not difficult).
You will probably need help for including this into Celestial plugins.

Later
The plugin would be nice, but it might not be possible to do so. But, if a stars and planets can be presented like you can see it in visible sky, then maybe many would appreciate. Thanks for the effort.
