However, unlike the backstaff, the sextant allows direct observations of stars. en.wikipedia.org

He developed a passion for flight, and pioneered many techniques for navigating airplanes over the open ocean including drift indicators and bubble sextants. en.wikipedia.org

Originally navigators used an astrodome and regular sextant but the more streamlined periscopic sextant was used from the 1940s to the 1990s. en.wikipedia.org

Index correction should be checked, using the horizon or more preferably a star, each time the sextant is used. en.wikipedia.org

The first is to obtain a line of position by use of a sextant observation and the techniques of celestial navigation. en.wikipedia.org

The firm produced hundreds of astronomical instruments such as mural circles, transit circles, sextants, and other astronomical instruments for observatories around the world. en.wikipedia.org

When up on deck, he actually uses a makeshift sextant to get the ship's latitude. en.wikipedia.org
