Night Observation in Automated Astronomical Navigation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2009
Abstract
In this paper two devices as applied to a marine sextant are presented. A night viewer replaces the usual telescope to allow observation of the horizon in darkness. In addition an automatic reading of altitude is made practicable by a ten-bit encoder mounted on the index arm. In this way the proposed Celestial Navigation Automated Global System may be included within an integrated navigation system.
