Want to guest what is this? It is call a Sextant and it got nothing to do with sex, but a measuring instrument generally used to measure the angle of elevation of a celestial object above the horizon. Making this measurement is known as sighting the object, shooting the object or taking a sight. The angle and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a position line on a nautical or aeronautical chart.
