Whilst we are chucking numbers around

I would like to quote something I posted in 2016 :

_____

It is worth noting how small an angle 'one second of arc' really is.

As a sanity-check; make a little target with a 1mm wide line on it [when I did this, I just filled-in alternate spaces on a section fom an IKEA paper tape-measure] ... Then view that target at a distance of 206.265 Meters. ... At that distance, 1 second of arc is subtended by 1mm.

It’s a nice sunny evening, so off you go to the local park or canal towpath. devil

It's a small OLED like this one. Two for £8.99. Bigger sizes available.

Not quite as easy to use as an LCD, though perhaps I should have Read The Flipping Manual! Nnot limited to text because it's a 132x32 graphical display.
