For the lunatics: I have come across what is said to be a simplified
method for using lunar sights to calculate longitude in Chapter 7 of an
online astro nav. tutorial -

There is also a wealth of formulas within the various chapters for
calculating all sorts of navigational data, and many diagrams. It comes
in the PDF format.
