Dear George, Could you look at the picture of the vernier of that Hezzanith on e-bay we just discussed: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~eremenko/pic1.jpg It is supposed to provide 0.2' reading. What do you think of it? One more request. As I understand, you had that bad sextant (which you returned) in your possession for few days. Could you recall some detail about it which would permit to exclude the possibility that this one is the same? Like the number and power of the scopes. Presence/absence of eyepiece filters? Anything about the certificate? Was it a 10" reading vernier? (This one is 0.2' reading). Thanks. Alex. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
