    Re: MK2A periscope sextant

    Following shortly will be photos of the relevant section of the Techies AP and of the 2xAA battery power supply I use.  DaveP

    Please see photos as promised.  You'll note from the circuit diagram that with +3V connected, you’re losing power through the dimmer resistance even with the sextant not in use.  That's why, if you’re only using 2xAA batteries, it’s best to use a 2xAA battery box with an On/Off switch, so that you can switch them off if you’ve got a long gap between observations.
