Join the U.S. Navy; I believe they still teach celestial navigation. I used to TEACH cel nav for the Navy. However, there isn't a whole lot of call for celestial navigation; a $99 GPS is faster, WAY more accurate, and much easier to use. Add a backpacker's solar powered battery charger, and you're ready to go.

The basic books on celestial navigation are Dutton's Nautical Navigation, and Bowditch's American Practical Navigator, which is available online at the link below. Both of these have been the standard reference materials for over 100 years, which is about how long it has been since celestial navigation has changed any.

"Navigation is easy. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be able to teach it to Sailors."

These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.
