until just a few years ago the University Of Minnesota offered a class on using a sextant.outside of the military does any know if there are still hands on class's someplace?
Just google "celestial navigation classes" and you will find some. Various sailing and yachting schools still offer hands on courses. There are also a goodly number of online & home study classes.
A fascinating book to read is
"Sextant: A Young Man's Daring Sea Voyage and the Men Who Mapped the World's Oceans" by David Barrie
