Did the Nautical Almanac tables of contemporaries of First Fleet astronomer William Dawes incorporate any of the new information resulting from the transit observations of that century? The author presents an overview of the state of celestial mechanics of the 18th century and the exciting mathematical developments that were taking place at the time. A closer look is taken at how the predicting of the eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter and the development of lunar theory was affected by the gaining of an understanding of the size of our solar system. Hand in hand with this were the technological improvements in the optics of instruments like telescopes that took place in Great Britain, and the progress in the cataloguing of star positions for navigation. On the continent, vast theoretical development
