I was thinking about using a laser level as an artificial horizon. I could set the level on a tripod at the same height as my eye and have it project the beam onto my fence, garage, etc. Then, I just have to bring the celestial body down to the laser line, right?
Info on a random level on the Home Depot's website states that it has an accuracy of 1/8" at 30 feet. Am I correct in my calculation of 1.19 minutes of arc? If so, I think I could tolerate that.
Thoughts, anyone?
