I vaguely remember descriptions of a sextant model (or models?) primarily intended for aircraft use, and built with a bubble like an aircraft sextant, which also has a direct horizon light path so that altitudes can be observed referencing the sea horizon just like a standard nautical sextant. What instrument would that be? And are these common enough? Or rare and expensive?
