Yes, I am aware of that. Unfortunately none of them have ever reached
production.
I wonder what kind of silicon sensors exist that act as artificial horizons,
and what kind measure angles, and how accurately? The digital compasses
recently referred to are accurate to 2 degrees. For a sextant the angle
needs to be measured to a few seconds of arc to be competitive.

Dan,
Bruce Bauer mentions sextants like the Plath on pages 157 to 161 of "The
Sextant Handbook" (2nd edition).
