Omar: my eyes have been deteriorating for the past few years, but the eye surgeon says I'm now going to hold my own. I don't have as much ability to see fine detail as I used to have. Can your scale printer program be altered to produce a scale larger than you used for your octant? I'm thinking that if I built myself an octant, sextant, etc., about 50% bigger than normal, I'd actually be able to read the scales when I want to. I've never used a sextant before and it would be fun to learn. Many thanks. John S.
