    Re: SNO-T sextant Galilean telescope

    Hello, Bruce and Alex!

    Bruce, you wrote: “I think the box for the SNO-T is adequate and am gled the Soviets elected to put the majority of the expense into the sextant.  I might also note that the quality of the case varies…”

    I agree with you that it is better to invest in instrument rather than in box. A box doesn't have to be like a piece of art. It can be utilitar, of course. But it must fulfill its basic functions. My SNO-T’s box assembly quality and wooden part quality is quite low indeed. 

    Alex, you wrote:  "You did not tell me in what year was SNO-T manufactured, and this may be relevant."

    Sorry, I forgot to say, that I mentioned the year of manufacturing in my first post. The sextant is made in 1987 (number on the box and sextant itself: 871430). The instrument has been tested in 29. january of 1988 (it can be seen in the certificat brochure).
