Luc you wrote "I'll probably write a little manual for how to get good results with the bubble horizon at some point. It was very frustrating at first."
Please do! It's very frustrating. Kind of like trying to solve the "three body problem" manually...getting the observed body centered in the bubble centered in the reticle. And always seeming to move/ tilt/ turn the sextant in the completely opposite direction than needed!
And I'll ask C&P why the fork arms are of different lengths.
