Anyone know of any museum that may have done an interactive exhibit
element on the workings of a sextant?  We're curious to get any feedback
on such a thing, if it has been done before.  We're hoping to include one
in a planned exhibit about the Copernican Revolution (earth-centered to
sun-centered universe; time period 1550-1850) and would like to avoid any
previous pitfalls, if possible - we're working on our prototype right now
& will be testing with visitors, but would appreciate any additional
information.

Thanks, in advance!  Replies off-list are fine.
