At a speaking engagement by James Lovell, I heard him describe the emergency procedure for navigating that they did with Apollo 13. There was a large round port window facing forward with a line engraved across the middle. Line that up with Earth's terminator line like cross hairs. Fire the main engine by hand. That's it. And it worked.
