Next message: Greg R.: "Re: Darn, no wonder my sights were off"
As far as I'm concerned, the "perfect sextant" is the one that gets the job done at the time (i.e. lets me fix my position with reasonable, consistent, and repeatable accuracy).
Having said that, I'd just about kill for a chance to take some sights with your dream sextant - I might just have to eat the words I just wrote.... :-)

C.Plath frame; Cassens and Plath handle (because it can be completely taken apart); Cassens and Plath horizon shades (larger than C.Plath); C.Plath Bubble attachment (earlier version with the adjustable bubble - a superb piece of engineering and craftsmanship); Cassens and Plath or C.Plath 4 x 40 scope and a 6 x 30 for optional use.
Ok, that's a start. Anyone else care to wade in?
Robert
