I think I'll look into the Dennis Fisher book. My next project will be making a sextant out of a CD cover (http://www.tecepe.com.br/nav/CDSextantProject.htm).

The Trilogy of time sell for $18 it has the same quality cut outs as the Astrolabe and is comprised of a Nocturnal for telling time very accurate. A perpetual calendar and a Sundial. The Latitude Hooks and Azimuth Rings by Dennis Fisher sells for $19.95, Plus the sell some very inexpensive sextants and some very expensive sextants and Navigational equiptment. Additional info:

I ended up purchasing it from celestaire ( nav equiptment) I put it together as instructed and it came out perfect. It is amazingly accurate, and looks great. I'm going to purchase the Trilogy of Time from Celestaire . I also purchased Dennis Fisher's book Latitude Hooks and Azimuth Rings absolutely informative and 18 projects to build. Worth every cent! Thanks again. Hi
