Astronomical SECTOR, or Equatorial SECTOR, an instrument for taking the difference of right ascensions and declinations of such stars as, on account of their great difference of declinations, will not pass through a fixed telescope. There is an instrument of this kind in the observatory at Greenwich, and it is described in Vince's Practical Astronomy.
