I am giving 5 stars based on the work already done. There is a fantastic potential for this app in the training of Celestial Navigation. This is because with ONLY the ability to accurately measure altitude without a visible horizon, sights can be taken in a persons backyard for "reduction" anywhere in the world, not just on a body of water. In addition to measuring and recording altitude, this app will, when using a good phone, give dead reckoning position for later work and identify objects.

I really like this app but the problem is that the star map is off and most of the time it misidentifies the star that you are shooting. I think it would be quite accurate if not for that.

I needed to track some orbits and this was perfect, a bit laggy but obviously good work was put in to it and such a niche app at that!

seems to lock up sensors occasionally

Me and boys were driving on the highway and wondering how high the clouds. we realized if we only had the angle to the clouds and the distance to right under it we would have enough information to estimate it. It worked! To verify we used the Freedom Tower, and we got the answer within 200 feet. Very impressive.

About this app

CamSextant allows measuring celestial objects altitudes with your phone,
similar to a marine sextant. The app uses the phone sensors, camera and GPS [optional].

Point the phone to a celestial object and capture the name, altitude and time
for celestial navigation calculations.

You can calibrate the sextant index, by reading the sea horizon altitude.

On screen celestial objects (Sun, Moon, 4 planets and 150 stars).
CamSextant has perpetual Nautical Almanac.

If set, CamSextant speaks the celestial objects names and altitudes.

Best way to identify navigation stars and planets.

The program also calculates the Deltas for the each altitude reading,
and the Astronomical Position (for two or more sights).

If you have a marine sextant at hand, you can correct the phone readings with it and get some real celnav work done.

Nice for celestial navigation training, even without a marine sextant.
