Celestial Navigation (Theory) and Rational Horizon Diagram (PZX triangle)

In this video, I explain the theory behind celestial navigation in simple and easy-to-understand terms, and show you how to construct the rational horizon diagram (and PZX triangle).
Students who find the concept of celestial navigation confusing will find this video very useful.
If you liked this video, you can become an exclusive member of "Steering Mariners". Benefits of this membership are long-term. As a exclusive member, you will enjoy:
1) Access to hundreds of previously loaded videos (through the community post) which are not accessible to the public.
2) 3-4 new videos every week not only to help with your studies but to plan your career.
3) early access to videos due for public viewing by at least 2-4 weeks.
4) Posting questions and getting answers to your query early and personally from me to help you with orals and exam preparation.
5) opportunity to network with other members and request for resources and/or guidance (and from me of course).
