This book contains formulae for calculating the positions of the Sun, Moon
and planets to navigational precision over several years using a pocket
calculator or personal computer. It includes a CD-ROM containing ASCII data
files and AstroNavPC, a software package which provides tools to find

greatest elongation, opposition and conjunction. The book also contains solar
and lunar eclipse maps and a CD-ROM containing the planetary and lunar
