While my last artificial horizon posting resulted in some interesting discussion on exotic liquid metals no one answered the question I'm really interested in. I'll try again - have other users of artificial horizons had luck with stars? I'm only able to find the reflection of brighter objects: sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Venus. If you have taken star sights were they during twilight or in the middle of the night?
