The July issue of Wired magazine (with Transformers on the cover)
features a full-page photo of the Horizon Ultra Sextant by Cassens &
Plath (page 056, in the "Start" section). The accompanying paragraph
says "...real sailors still carry these 25--year-old gizmos...What
makes the Horizon Ultra stand out are its finishing touches: a
brass-alloy frame to resist warping, a white enamel coating to deflect
heat, and a lighted micrometer for judging angles at dawn or dusk."
I don't see it on their web page. Maybe they will post it there after
a delay.
