Description

This is the traditional and most trusted instrument for finding your celestial position at sea, however this sextant has been made with an Allview mirror. Using specially coated optics, this specially made mirror superimposes both the horizon and the celestial body on the entire mirror with no split image. This greatly simplifies the ‘bringing down’ of the celestial body, and makes it easier to the hold the body in view.

The sextant has a comfortable weight and size with excellent balance from its quality designed ligh metal alloy frame. Both the large horizon and index mirrors have been thoroughly tested for optical flatness and parallelism, whilst the clamping device and micrometer drum are fully enclosed for protection against dirt and water spray.

Other features of this Friberger Drum Sextant include:

  • Standard telescope 4x40 is adjustable for height and fitted with a protective rubbers eyepiece. 
  • Swing-in graded filters (4 for the index, and 3 for the horizon mirrors) control the correct amount of brightness through the sextant’s optical light path.
  • Graduated arc of radius 170mm with a scale of degrees of -5 to +125 degrees measured in one degree intervals. Drum graduations are 1'. Visual interval 0.1'.
  • Dimensions (Sextant only): 26cm x 24cm x 13cm.
  • Wooden carrying case dimensions: 34cm x 32cm x 17cm.
