Sextant Calculator is the essential tool for celestial navigators, designed to simplify the arithmetic of sight reductions.

Enter angles in degrees and decimal minutes (DD MM.m) format. Add, subtract, or divide angles with a single tap. Perfect for working through sun, star, and planet sights.

No more mental arithmetic errors. No more reaching for pencil and paper. Just clean, accurate calculations every time.
