My $.02.
First, skip the plastic junk and go with the metal sextant. I have
an Astra IIIb and a Freiberger and well as some Davis junk. If you
can't go the new, get one used. There are generally plenty of disillusioned
people willing to get rid of a sextant just like there are with cameras.
Second, the government book store in Los Angeles will ship you a
very good government edition of the nautical almanac in about 2 days.
Call them with a visa card number; no tax and no postage.
