The new Sun and Moon have the following dimensions:

SEXTANTSUNDIAMETER=1.61555555555
SEXTANTMOONDIAMETER=1.5125

I was lucky to find NewSextant mod. I found it almost immediately after it was published, but I was not immediately able to appreciate its merits and the reason why it was made that way. Now, after years of researching celestial navigation in Silent Hunter 5, this mod seems to be the most thoughtful and graceful, the "golden key" that finally opens up Celestial Navigation for us in Silent Hunter, we have all been waiting for it.

I was especially pleased with the fact that this mod turned out to be so flexible that it became possible to introduce into it my developments regarding the correction of celestial coordinates.

Thanks to Vecko and derstosstrupp for working on this as a team.
