    Robert,
    A Bris sextant is an interesting little tool.
    Here are a few links that explain the little guy and how to use one.
    Also,searching the archives I found a few threads about this device.
    One is Navigation 0301 by Gary Harkins a few years ago.
    Here are the links(you have to have a translator to read these):

    I quite enjoy useing the one I have in the backyard or on trips to the
    desert.
    Small,compact and easy to use.I use a Palm OS based N.A. and reduction
    program(I also carry a GPS along) as both are compact and easy to use and
    that is important while hiking/backpacking in the desert .
