Hi Bill
In the both versions of the virtual octant, I kept the horizon mirrors perfectly orthagonal to each other, just as you have indicated.
I would think that they were nominally orthagonal, as those index adjustment mechanisms on the back would have permited plus or minus a few degrees each.
I may just implement those mechanisms in the virtual world!
Best Regards
Brad
