Greg asked about the sextants and rete mailing lists, asking-

"Do you have a link for the Sextants mailing list? That one sounds
interesting, but couldn't find anything on a Google search.

And I assume that "rete" refers to the Museum of the History of
Science list
about the history of scientific instruments:
(http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/rete/index.htm?text)?"

=========================

The sextants list is at Sextants@yahoogroups.com  . I no longer have
any details about how to sign up. Traffic is very thin on it these
days.

It has a differtent emphasis to Nav-l, mainly catering for the
interests of sextant collectors rather than users. It has been a good
place to raise questions about authenticity, for example, but its
members have avoided the technical stuff that many at Navlist go in
for. Many Navlist members are signed up with the sextants list.

Geg is right about the rete list. It seems mainly to operate as a link
between curators of museums with a science-history bent. I find it
useful, in that it reflects many of my own interests.
