Answer Posted / Makeshwar Tanti

It appears there might be a typo in your question. If you meant 'sextant', here's some general information:nnA sextant is an optical instrument used for measuring angles between two visible objects, typically the angle between a celestial object and the horizon, or the angle between two celestial objects. It consists of a telescope mounted on a frame that can be rotated about one axis.nnProperties:n- Horizon mirror: Reflects the user's view of the horizon to allow measurement of the elevation angle.n- Index arm: A movable arm with a graduated scale used to measure angles.n- Alidade: The movable part of the index arm, containing a sight and a spirit level to help align the sextant.n- Prism: Reflects the image twice (once on each side of the horizon mirror) to increase the apparent size of the object being observed.
