RE: Antique measuring instruments from the Moscow Planetarium

You have an amazing experience! And it is a very good tradition to pass on the sextant by inheritance. I completely agree that nowadays people have become too dependent on electrical appliances, the reliability of which is questionable (especially in extreme conditions). The simpler the device is, the more reliable it is. And GPS, even in urban conditions, gives errors of several hundred meters.
