Many Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I find the challenge of cel. extremely exciting and have been working through sun sight problems in getting started. I purchased an Astra IIIB and this weekend when I get out to the lake will be taking the first actual sights. Having just received my sextant on Monday in the mail I have noticed that making the adjustments seems to depend upon the distance of the object. If I am adjusting basis the back of the couch I look at the rooftop across the street and things are out of adjustment. Is there a certain distance you should use for making these adjustments? figured I would just do it at the lake for sure. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
