It's indeed a great experience Christian.
In very short ;-) we took the coordinates for our assumed position in this case Johnston island, taking into account our speed and wind correction which gives our time to arrive.
Then you check the star table for our arrival time and check the Sun's Alt & Az.
From that you do a reading and compare to see how far you're off while adjusting to finetune.
This in fact being a simple flight; longer runs and navigating on the stars at night add more excitement ;-)
