Yet, don’t underestimate its capabilities, as this sextant has guided sailors across countless horizons globally. Its full-sized design comes with protective sunshades, however, note its lack of optical magnification. Thus, under starry skies, one might lean towards the more luminous celestial bodies for navigation.

The Celestial Navigation 132 Card elevates your navigational prowess, presenting a distilled yet comprehensive overview of marine navigation. Dive into the intricacies of sextant use, corrections, key concepts, effective practices, and the mapping of invaluable constellations. Completing this bundle is the Davis Artificial Horizon 144. Perfectly suited for hands-on practice, be it in your backyard or during your marine expeditions. It offers invaluable assistance, especially when determining precise coordinates inland or securing accurate sextant readings during misty dawns. Its simple mechanism involves filling it with water, reflecting the sun, and then using your sextant to gauge the sun's angle - with half the reading giving the sun's angle relative to the true horizon.

My first line-of-position after becoming accustomed to the sextant and artificial horizon seemed pretty good to me but I'm sure I will improve on it. I haven't had a good sun after making the first LOP so I don't have a "fix" yet. However, plotting the LOP and my cell phone's GPS location I might be within 6 miles. Not great but it's my first experience. I have some suggestions for Davis: 1) in the instruction book for the sextant add sketches of how the sun should appear for an upper and lower limb shot. Initially I kept trying to put the reflected image over/under the sun but they need to be half of each, side-by-side down the middle, i.e. the suns image on the left and the index arm reflection on the right; 2) add a note to the instructions for the artificial horizon alerting the user to the field of view. That is, I was standing too far away (I'm at 43 degrees N. latitude) but I found a YouTube review that said the closer you get to the artificial horizon the greater your field of view. That made it quite easy to get the sun's image in the middle of the artificial horizon's water surface. Overall, I give 5-stars because the device seems to work smoothly and fully meets my expectations for the price. Also, the instructions for making the alignment adjustments were easy to follow and simple to perform. My only problem on alignments was finding a suitable target at least a mile away - hard to find in my town. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/290386242-davis-davis-mark-3-sextant-bundle-with-artificial-horizon-celestial](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/290386242-davis-davis-mark-3-sextant-bundle-with-artificial-horizon-celestial) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
