Abstract

In this paper, the accuracy of astronomical (astro) navigation will be considered against the wide variety of factors that affect it. A series of practical observations will be analysed and astro positions compared with GPS positions and the reasons for the differences discussed. The paper will reach the conclusion that only by understanding the processes of astro navigation can its accuracy be fully understood and properly used by a practical navigator.
