Talk:Sextant

I've always been impressed by the ability of the Avatar's sextant to determine not only latitude, but to accurately determine longitude as well. I guess we should assume the Avatar also carries an accurate chronometer with himself whenever he travels. Dungy 23:37, 26 February 2012 (PST)
 * I think Britannian sextants work via the same technology that churns out those amazing tension-wrench-free lockpicks.--Blu3vib3 23:59, 26 February 2012 (PST)
 * And if the land is flat, as is suggested in some Ultimas, then calculating based on the horizon probably wouldn't get you the latitude either. -- Fenyx4 05:13, 27 February 2012 (PST)
 * Ah, but with two moons, lunar diameters should be twice as accurate for fixing longitude! - Amgine 18:32, 28 March 2012 (PDT)
