I have a all metal Japanese sextant from e-bay that the owner said got him across the pacific several times(made by a: "Measure All Company" ?), its no C.Plath but it reads out to 10" of arc and as far as I can tell I am the limiting factor when it comes to sights. I would really like to find a bubble attachment for it; (1)does anyone have any suggestions? & (2)what is the best accuracy you can expect with a bubble, is it worth the bother?

Ok, that's a start. Anyone else care to wade in? Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
