Here's a quick video on how to use the Sextant in SH5.



To learn how to plot using the sextant and real nav, look at this post. It's a bit confusing, but I think I'm getting it.
Hope this helps. I'm still learning how to use this in SH5 as well.
(Once I'm more cofudent in my celestial nav skills, I'll post a video. But that won't be for a bit.)

I went so far as to buy myself a real sextant and book on celestial navigation. Found a Davis Mark 3 Sextant on Amazon for $50 USD.

If anyone else has a link to other forum post and/or videos please share them. The [TEC] Real navigation Tutorials topic seems to be dead.
