    Re: Infrared sextant

    Could FLIR technology be applied to a sextant scope to enable one to view the natural horizon after dark, thereby extending one's ability to take celestial sights at night, beyond the usual periods of nautical twilight?

    Built by Hughes, it apparently concentrated infrared energy and allowed sun shots on overcast days.
