We are in an anchorage with some really excellent astronomy buffs. They get on the VHF radio at night and give lessons on the sky. I think you would really enjoy it and probably have a lot to contribute.

"Longitude" looks like a great book. GPS and digital charts have made things so easy, but having someone around who can do the job if they failed would be great.
