Noticed French internet store NavAstro which has fairly good
selection of inexpensive plastic sextants.Something I have been
looking for as I am practising celestial navigation. And there is
additional benefit of them being within the EU so there will be no
import taxes..

Just to be sure before placing an order... has anyone done business
with them? Happy with service?

Just looking at the site, they are outrageously expensive, around twice the
price elsewhere. Would take a lot of freight and duty to make that up.

Check out the Celestaire site, for example.

Also, there is a bloke selling new Astra's on Ebay for less than their price
for a Davis 25.

Tally-ho! If this looks good, maybe I can beat the situation with the
80 cents U.S. Canadian dollars (means a $500 Astra IIIB costs over
$600 Canadian)
