I have been corresponding with someone at Davis Instruments who has just informed me that the accuracy rate of the Mark 15 sextant is +/- 5 degrees. I am hoping there is a typo somewhere in his message. Also, I am not sure what accuracy rate means. Even though the sextant is plastic, low cost, etc., surely it has better accuracy than 5 degrees. Any thoughts? George Istok Senior Consultant Signal Hill Consultants, Inc.
