    Guy, you wrote:
    "I wonder how many of the list participant are also into astronomy? In
    addition was it astronomy that got you interested in Cel Nav or was it Cel nav
    that got you interested in astronomy?"

    Yes, I started out first interested in astronomy (when I was a kid) and saw
    celestial navigation as a minor interest for many years. With dark skies
    mostly a distant memory, I'm now more focused on navigation and artificial
    satellite tracking. Right now, I've got one 6" reflector and two sextants in my car.
    So what does that make me? Astronomer?? Celestial navigator?? Potential
    crime victim?? :->
