Russian Sextant – I recently
purchased a Russian SNO-T (SNO-T) micrometer Sextant. I am very
happy with the mechanics of the sextant – almost no backlash, easy to use
and smooth operation. The telescope had some separation when I got it but
I got that fixed for $60 and now it is perfect. Beware of the 12 power
telescope – inverting and difficult to use. The 4 power standard
cope seems adequate. I have also tried the 7x35 scope from a Tamaya
sextant which also worked fine.
Hope this helps.
