Alex, I just drove [North to South] through Indiana last week. Man, that state is really flat ! Now I know how you're getting those outstanding sextant readings :-) I recall [perhaps wrongly] that you previously mentioned something about a SNO-M manual. If you ever need a copy of one, let me know. It's an original so of course in Russian, but I'll be glad to copy it for you. As to SNO-M usage, I have only the inverting scope, so have been saving all your postings on the use of such; but, have only tried the short scope on the SNO-T, so far.
