Author Topic: Accidental Star Pilot exit

I have somehow managed to exit Star Pilot on my TI-89 and am unable to get back to Star Pilot. I wasn't using any other TI89 functions-just hit a wrong key or something. I have tried 2nd-VAR LINK-spsetup-ENTER. The "spsetup" does not display an open
"("and so I can't really close it by selecting ")" before I select ENTER.
I'd appreciate some adult supervision here.

Vielen Dank!

In the support link at the top of the page, there is a section on StarPilot, and halfway down the list is an item called "Where is StarPilot." That is a sequence of steps to follow depending on how lost it is.

Thanks for the timely reply. That did it. I saved those instructions for the next time.......

BTW, I love that Sight Analyzer function!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the follow up. We used that method a lot on the last voyage I did by pure cel nav, which is documented with all the examples in Hawaii by Sextant.

I'm deep into that voyage now with plotting sheets and graph paper everywhere......then discovered the sight analyzer.

I could feel the panic welling up when Star Pilot went down......

What a great tool..

Hang in!
