certainly, here is a screenshot from 1280x1024 resolution using the new 1280 sextant.
It was taken at 32° latitude showing measurement of polaris:




Regarding resolution change - I use the wikipedia solution with a d3d9.dll and d3d9.cfg and Microsoft application compatibility toolkit
to override the 1024x768. The negative effect is the "stretching" of the screen because of ratio change from 4:3 (1024x768) to 5:4 (1280x1024).
It messes up the vertical of the screen, thus it won't be possible to use sextant efficiently. I think we should forget about higher resolutions.

Whereas on the game default (1024x768) res one can see 60 Degrees in the vertical.

Can you post some screenies, please!
Thanks
