I made some test measurements:

on 20° lat I get sextant reading of 20°
on 25° lat I get ~26° (I think here it is spot on, if you subtract the 50' (~1°) from polaris readings.
on 30° lat I get ~32°
on 35° lat I get ~38°
on 40° lat I get ~43,5°


everything above 45° is not measureable - the sextant scale is only visible to 45° on the screen.
I guess the way the resolution is "stretched" from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 it is not possible to use it for the nav mod.
It's better to revert back to native 1024x768 if you want to shoot stars with acceptable results.
(vanjast, I think you had good results with your sextant readings there.)

Hi Georg,

same problem here . Everyting above 45° is not measureable. Have you tried 1280x960? Maybe better to revert back to 1024x768.
