A brass sextant is a beautiful instrument with knobs, slides, vernier scales, mirrors, magnifiers, filters, lens and eye pieces. Its a real historic instrument that is still in use today. The sextant is the development of an older instrument called a Falstaff which measured the angle of the sun form the length of its shadow but that was always a bit tricky at sea. Indeed the sextant did not come into its own until accurate time could be kept but thats another story. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation.

The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as sighting or shooting the object, or taking a sight. A sextant is an instrument used to measure the angle between any two visible objects.
