There's something peculiar in the Celestaire logo. It implies the sextant is observing a backsight, but the index arm is set to about 60°. I think Ken G. would have noticed the anomaly, so the "mistake" was probably intentional. Maybe he thought it looked better, though I think 60° puts the star nicely above the center of the word. Since Ken is no longer with us, I suppose the story behind the logo is lost forever. https://www.celestaire.com/ -- Paul Hirose sofajpl.com
