Abstract: To aid astronomical research in the identification and positioning of random stars in unfamiliar environments, this paper proposes a random star identification algorithm that does not require approximate station position. ...

Abstract: The moon is the brightest celestial body in the night sky, and it is of some value when determining the astronomical azimuth on a cloudy or foggy night or in a light-polluted city when there is no visible star. Based on ...

Abstract: Precise determination of the astronomical azimuth using the local hour angle (LHA) of Polaris is only applicable in northern middle latitudes. Therefore, to achieve fast and precise astronomical orientation in any part of ...
