I hope Nav-L is still alive though it lives its last days:-( This e-bay listing http://cgi.ebay.com/Kelvin-Hughes-Sextant-1956_W0QQitemZ7416573557QQcategoryZ66638QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem shows a sextant with a strange attachment in front of its horizon mirror. The top right picture shows it attached, and the bottom left picture shows the attachment itself (on the right). What is this? It does not look like a bubble horizon to me. Alex
