Scientific paper

The astronomical navigation, as a discipline of applied astronomy, which deals with solving navigational problems by observing celestial bodies, mostly by determining the position of the ship, for many centuries was dominant in orientation of seamen and directing the ship on the open sea. It achieved its full and almost complete development in the second half of the XIX century. Since then its development is a result of technological advancement of instruments and equipment, without essential advance in accuracy and use. In the second half of the XX century its use was marginalized, and at the start of the third millennium almost pushed aside by electronic navigational systems, mostly satellite system GPS.
