Good trick. What did you drill with? A dremel? I ordered my Astra IIIB (split horizon) at the Pacific Sail Expo last Sunday (they had sold everything they had there). It should be here soon. I am very excited. I also ordered a bubble practice horizon to take plenty of sights in my back yard instead of driving to the bay or (even farther) the ocean for practicing. Now, I am going to Hong-Kong for a week and I just thought that maybe I should have looked for a good price on a Tamaya or even a European sextant there, before ordering the Astra. Oh well. I am sure the Astra will be very nice, its owners sound pretty happy with it. YA
