quintant, a reflecting navigational instrument on the same general lines as a
quadrant or
sextant, and used specifically for calculating
lunar distance. Its arc subtended a fifth of a circle, or 72°, hence its name. Because of its reflecting property, it was able to measure angles of up to 144°. See also
celestial navigation.
