    Re: What is a "Class A" sextant?

    On second thought, the Class B and the 120 degree error box are preprinted.  So failing to have a 120 degree range cannot knock you from A to B

    That may be true.

    My Class A is measured 8 times every 15 degrees to 120 degrees.

    Yours is too.  I note the 1 arc minute at 120 degrees, which pushes the limit in accuracy to 1', from 30".

    The class B is every 30 degrees.  I note one other, maybe significant, delta.  The cert is only to 105 degrees.  Perhaps 120 (+) is required!

    A class a certificate. 8 measurements vice 4?
