Hello Group, I am currently thinking about purchasing Cassens and Plath Professional Bubble Horizon to be fitted on a TAMAYA lighted sextant. But before forking out 900$ (Celestaire's Catalog price) I'd like to know what it is worth. Does anyone on the List has experimented this bubble horizon? What kind of precision is achievable with a good marine sextant fitted with this device? How does it compare to a good aircraft bubble sextant, say a British Hughes MkIXA? Thanks for any comments and advice. JPP |
