I was thinking that there are two ready references, the vertical and horizontal. If knew roughly where I was and had some instrument with horizontal and vertical cross hairs, I could mark when the star had the same altitude or azimuth as a limb of the moon. My almanac or computational tool could then be used to determine the UT for that event.
