Gennaro, Welcome to our Navigation group. We hope that you enjoy our discussions. Many topics reappear when new people join. There are always a good number of very good ongoing discussions. Can you tell us more about beam-converger sextants, I have never heard of it ? Is this another name full view mirror. I personally like the full view mirroe as opposed to the split mirror. I have a Russian Cetus sextant with a split mirror and a Frieberger with a full view. Generally the Frieberger wins when taking sights. Although I prefer the coloured shades of the Cetus. Aubrey.
