    Re: ebay sextant

    And there was also their top-of the line "Gotic" sextant.
    Once I had an opportunity to buy one (from a Russian seller), and
    I hesitated too long and missed it:-)
    
    Huge 10 inch frame, 5 telescopes, all possible sorts of eye filters,
    still see it sometimes in my dreams:-)
