    Kelvin Hughes Sextant
    From: Jerry Gorman
    Date: 2014 Nov 15, 04:47 -0800

    Hi As a yachtsman new to astro nav, I acquired a Kelvin Hughes sextant serial no 50117, it's grey ex admiralty. In the box is a fairly large dia lens which is the one I use as well as a telescopic eyepiece with 2 changeable lenses one has a pair of parallel lines the other 2 pairs of lines at 90 degrees. These invert the image. What are they used for. Also I have 2 shaded what appear to be replacement lenses not screwed and don't appear to fit anywhere. Can anyone explain the purpose of these please  . Thanks Jerry Gorman
