A friend bought a Russian sextant through e-bay and is looking for infos.
He received the sextant in his wooden box.
Screwed to the box are 2 small engraved plates
A small ( 10mm x 30mm ) engraved plate shows SNO-M
A bigger one ( 20mm x 40mm ) shows a circle in the middle with the letter K
followed by a figure that looks like a 6. Years, serial numbers, etc. also
appears on the plate.
The instrument in painted grey (probably aluminum).
When you look through the eyepiece (scope), the image is reversed like in a
t�lescope
Glued inside the cover of the box are 2 pieces of paper with various
inscriptions (probably corrections to be applied or something similar but
can not decepher exept for the numbers as it is written in Russian)
Any infos ???
many thanks
Pierre Boucher
