The dollar store sextant has been improved by adding a horizon mirror to the
back of the glass base. This mirror allows a daytime Moon to be observable in
a 5mm slot from the front. I also hope to be able to see early twilight Venus
with this configuration. The Sun shows especially good using a pair of camera
polarizers as a variable shade.
