  • A sextant is designed to determine the altitude or angular distance of a celestial body above the horizon. This information is essential for calculating one's position on Earth, especially when out of sight of landmarks or GPS signals.
  • A typical sextant consists of a frame or body made of metal or plastic, which houses a series of optical components and a calibrated arc.
  • The telescope is mounted on the sextant and is used for sighting celestial objects. It often has adjustable magnification to improve accuracy.
  • This is a half-silvered mirror positioned at a 45-degree angle to the line of sight through the telescope
