    The Starpilot navigation computer comprises all possible programs for astro navigation with your sectant. In addition a multitude of coastal programs are included. Lines of position can be displayed graphically. Even a routine for adjustment of magnetic compass with reference to the sun´s shadow direction is included. The large display allows confortable, simple and safe for use. The calculator TI-89 comes with hardcover; manual and an emergency Navigation Book on CD. Included batteries are 3 of AAA and 1 of CR1616 as back up. Dimensions are 180x80x18 mm. Weight app. 220g Nº40954.

    For astronavigation a sextant and an accurate watch are required additionally. The calculator "asks" by dialog for the approximate position (dead reekoning position), the star height as measured with the sextant, and the Greenwich or world time. With this a first line of position (LOP) can be calculated. In the same way a second LOP follows some time later. The intersection of both LOPs results in the position, the fix, as desired. If the yacht makes a certain distance between first and second observation, the first LOP will be advanced automatically to the position of the second to form a fix. The star heights as measured with the sextant have to be corrected, this is done automatically by the calculator.
    With naked eye the planet Venus is not visible at daylight hours. To find it, Starpilot precalculates approximate height and azimuth. Now you can identify Venus by looking through the sextant telescope and measuring its real height to find the LOP.
    The nautical yearbook data of sun, moon, planets and 173 selected stars are stored in the calculator until the year 2100 with a tolerance of less 0.2``. Rise and set times as well as the moon phase can be indicated. Course conversions basing on great circle or Mercator sailings are possible, also considering drift caused by wind or current. Estimated time of arrival is a result. Tidal calculations are possible.
