Our box sextant is a compact and portable instrument used for taking celestial observations at sea or on land. It is a navigational tool that can be used to determine the altitude and angular distance of celestial bodies such as stars, the sun, and the moon from the horizon. You can contact us if you want this equipment, we are the best Box Sextant Manufacturer in Uttarakhand.
Box sextant from Jafri Survey Instruments consists of a wooden or metal box with a small telescope mounted on the top. A series of mirrors and prisms inside the box allow the observer to view the horizon and the celestial body simultaneously.
Box sextant was widely used by mariners in the past, but with the advent of GPS technology, its use has declined. However, it still remains an important tool for sailors and navigators, especially in cases of equipment failure or in areas where GPS signals are weak or non-existent.
The box sextant we provide is also used by astronomers for measuring the positions of stars and other celestial bodies. It is a useful tool for amateur astronomers who do not have access to more sophisticated instruments. Apart from being a manufacturer and a supplier, we deliver our equipment and tools as the chief Box Sextant Exporter in India.
Despite its relative simplicity, our box sextant requires some skill and practice to use effectively. It is important to have a good understanding of celestial navigation and the principles of optics to obtain accurate measurements. By adjusting the angle of the mirrors, the observer can measure the altitude of the celestial body and calculate their position.
