Description

ANTIQUE BRASS GERMAN NAUTICAL SEXTANT MARITIME ASTROLABE MARINE  GIFT SHIPS INSTRUMEN
The primary use of a sextant is to determine the angle between an
astronomical object
and the
horizon
for the purposes of
celestial navigation. The determination of this angle, the altitude, is known as
sighting
(or
shooting
) the object, or
taking a sight
. The angle, and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a
position line
on a nautical or aeronautical
chart. Common uses of the sextant include sighting the
sun
at
solar noon
or
Polarisat night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to determine
latitude. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of
distance off
and, held horizontally, a sextant can measure angles between objects for a
position on a chart.
