Hi,
I am also getting into celestial navigation right now and checked the demo of masters mate.
Looks nice but the demo generates random errors.
I just bought the nautical almanac and printed out some sight reduction tables from http://pollux.nss.nga.mil/pubs/pubs_j_srta_list.html to practice that stuff the "old way" . Celestial navigation is pretty fun but it's also a good backup in case your electronics fail.
