<p class="MsoNormal">If it’s cloudy, this will be much like 2 years ago. However, if the sky is clear, we’ll review Sextant technique and head outside to shoot Betelgeuse with artificial horizons. Back inside, we’ll reduce sights and award prizes* for the
most accurate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ideally, celestial navigators have 4 things: Sextant, Ephemeris (like the Nautical Almanac), Chronometer, and some type of Sight-Reduction method (I’ll mention 5). Fortunately, there’s a Free App for iPods, iPhones and iPads that does
all of the above. You are encouraged to bring your device, after <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/astronav-lite/id440513517?mt=8" target="_blank">
downloading AstroNav Lite</a> by Sascha Troscheit. There's also a <a href="http://www.navimatics.com/Celestial/">
4-star Android app for $20</a> but I've not tried it.<o:p></o:p></p>
