Replacing a highly respected skill like navigation using a sextant, with something that feels like looking at an app, will probably always feel like a grave insult.

Can anyone associated with the making of this video clip identify the brand of telescope attached to the sextants being used by the Royal Navy Officers.

@@jnick6 More than likely a Cassens & Plath, purchased in bulk from Celestaire.

​@@pwjackson888 the crown is notoriously short on money. It is probably a Plath knockoff from India 😂😂😂😂

​@@pwjackson888 It is a Cassens&Plath. I have the same one in white. I never use it. I use my Davis Mk15 or my C&P Navistar Professional.

Wow I'd never considered gps spoofing. That's such an obvious tactic.

Gps is already spoofed. As someone who was in the russian military I can testify that GPS is spoofed. Gps cannot locate the north pole and south pole for some reason. At least in russia their story is that there is a vortex that socks navy ships in but the American story is simply tell the public nothing and spoof gps so anyone using gps will never know the truth about this world. Sorry your governments are hiding a lot of land and they are heavily guarded. There are continents in the north. From the coast of Australia down south there is a firmament. From the south african coast after the ice is more land. The public maps are wrong. The true maps are only programmed in military planes and ships and there are physical copies which we can't take to the public. It's all a lie. I can't believe I worked for 5 years in the cold watching the ice thinking we are circling a continent but we went on a big circle for 5 years imagine that. Ask your navy friends who are under the treaty and they will tell you but usually they put in mental hospitals for speaking out

You are all wrong about how a sextant works!! I will try and send this genius to your video to tell you how wrong you are 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @Dr-Curious 18 minutes ago (edited) @swmplvr "soo. sextants are not used for celestial navigation? " Wrong again. Celestial nav doesn't use triangulation. Your source is inaccurate or alluding to an ancient, outmoded imprecise technique. Tell us the height of any star, champ. You chose which one. You would need to know all sides of the triangle and angles. Go for it. As you can see he has infinite wisdom on the topic, so hopefully I can get him over here to correct you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
