The Astrocompass At high latitudes, where magnetic variation can be erratic and
the angle of magnetic dip can be steep, the magnetic compass is essentially
useless. As the need for flights at high latitudes and/or near the magnetic pole, ...

North Star Over My Shoulder: A Flying Life
I decided to check that and got to work putting the astrocompass in its mount in
the dome. I got the hour angle and declination for Sirius and set it up on the
astrocompass. The clouds were well broken and I could see Sirius well as I
squinted ...

As far as the intercept is concerned, it will be accurate and plottable as long as
the coordinates set into the Astrocompass are within 60 to 70nm of the current fix.
Beyond this distance lock-on can be maintained, but plotting becomes a problem.

The astrocompass is an instrument designed primarily for the determination of
the true heading of an aircraft. When the exact true heading is known, the local
magnetic variation can be applied to obtain the magnetic heading. This value can
be ...

12.13 AN ASTROCOMPASS. The astrocompass is a celestial compass used
principally to check the accuracy of the magnetic compass. The bearing of any
celestial body can be computed for a given time from any point on earth. The
actual ...

Perspectives in Marine Biology
In use, the underwater polarimeter was mounted, as shown in figure 7, on the
base of an astrocompass, which provided convenient vertical reference and
calibrated adjustment in azimuth and elevation. This in turn was clamped to a
tripod, ...
Adriano A. Buzzati-Traverso, 1958
The basic course- selection system during flights in the Antarctic was the astro-
compass; in all cases when, for some reason, it became impossible to navigate
the plane by astrocompass, navigators preferred to use course- selection
systems ...

Marine and Air Navigation
No index to read it in this way is provided, because measurement of the azimuth
is not needed, being merely a means to an end (the determination of true
heading) which with this instrument is directly obtained. The astrocompass is
closely ...
