> I bought a lanyard in a photo-shop. > Just a usual lanyard for a photo-camera. Ditto here. The attachment to the frame is via a nylon cord lock/wrap tie. (One of those gizmos from Radio Shack et al that will slide done to a a secure fit, but will not release without cutting it.) To minimize abrasion from hard nylon against the aluminum frame, I picked up a bit of soft tubing from a model shop and slipped it over the nylon-wrap-tie thingy before attaching to the sextant. If not OCD, pieces of soft synthetic cord and a sheet bend could work as well with the camera strap. Bill
