Hello, Dale. I have a CP professional horizon that I use with an Astro Professional sextant. Quite honestly, I have seen a fair bit of variation with this bubble attachment which is at odds with how well engineered the unit is. See my February post for how this unit compares to WWII aircraft sextant or a nautical sextant and a Davis horizon. There is an index adjustment screw on the unit, but I have not found that to be helpful and I have adjusted the Astra to minimize the usual sextant corrections. Best regards, Greg

Does anyone use the C&P bubble sextant? Does it appear to be mis-aligned with the horizon mirror? I have a query into C&P.
