    Paul, I give a fair amount of detail of the Coutinho pattern sextant telescope here: https://sextantbook.com/?s=Coutinho-pattern  The central slice of a lens is to bring the bubble into focus at the same time as observing the body at infinity.. I describe an earlier pattern of bubble sextant, which uses half a lens to bring a single level vial into focus, here:https://sextantbook.com/?s=Byrd

    Kind regards
