Trips are organized into "sight groups", which are groups of sights that can be used together to arrive at a celestial fix.

This screen lists 3 different sight groups. Because this is a fictional trip taken from the book "100 Problems in Celestial Navigation" the sights in the groups are taken from problems in the book.
