What is Marine Sextant: Principles & Use about?

The document summarizes the marine sextant, an instrument used for celestial navigation. It describes how a sextant uses two mirrors to measure the angle between celestial bodies and the horizon. It then discusses the optical principles, with diagrams showing how double reflection allows it to measure twice the angle between the mirrors. Finally, it provides details on modern micrometer drum sextants, describing the key components and how they work to allow precise altitude measurements.
