"I have just ordered some glasses to build a bris sextant. Since I live far from the sea I will appreciate if someone could give some directions to calibrate it making an artificial horizon. ( If it is possible).
I am not sure on how should I measure the angles with the sun or if the angles between the glasses should be wider than a regular bris sextant."
I told him in a private message while fixing a small issue with his post that I was confident he would get multiple, immediate replies. But no. Days have passed with no reply. So please count this as encouragement!! Surely some of you have something interesting to say here. No?
