What Is a Sextant Used For?
A sextant is a classic navigation instrument used to measure the angle between a celestial body and the horizon. Using nautical almanacs and navigation tables, one can calculate latitude and longitude without electronic aids.
Celestial navigation is still used by many offshore sailors as a backup to GPS, and is also an important part of training in traditional navigation.
Whole Horizon or Split Horizon?
Sextants are usually supplied with two types of horizon mirrors.
Whole Horizon Mirror makes it easier to see the horizon and is often used by beginners and courses.
Split Horizon Mirror is the traditional solution where the horizon is seen directly through the mirror and is preferred by many experienced navigators.
