*smiles* I've taken that into account, if you take a gander at a few of my replies here.
Basically, if you're going to navigate by the stars, you'll need star maps from far enough back to wherever you're going. If you don't KNOW how far back you're going, well, you'll need full star maps dating back to as far as you can get. Then you get the tedious chore of sorting through the maps to figure out when you are. THEN you figure out where.
Very difficult to do if you're being shot at at the time by hostile natives.
