## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely device.
*by M***D on March 31, 2021*

Very lovely and I know how to use a sextant, I understand the square ND (Neutral Density) filters in the beam splitter path but the round ones must be purely decorative, because their are in neither optical path. A few touch ups and it could be a real usable instrument. But this is perfect for the intended purpose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality is very good
*by M***O on August 29, 2020*

I wanted to learn how to navigate by the stars not by computer as a backup. I bought the book also fantastic buy

### ⭐⭐⭐ Read dimensions
*by A***R on January 20, 2025*

I thought it would be bigger and more substantial to put on a mantel with a telescope. It’s rather tiny. I display it on top of the box to minimize how small it is.It’s still really cool and unique! Parts appear high quality, and the box is beautiful.
