    Question. Could a steel mirror stainless steel like you see for signal mirrors. Choose level it how about a bubble Bulls eye style. If so you could put this in a draw string little pouch. If you used steel mirror it seemseems there would be no go straight image.  Just a thought.

    The whole mirror method sounds cool, to possibly sight stars and planets inland. Randall, are you using a surveyors tripod and a bubble as Ed described, or another method to keep the mirror flat?

    These are the folks I got my mirror from:

    A 6 x 6 inch mirror 1/4 inch thick is 20 dollars and I have been using mine for 5 or more years.  They get fine scraches of course but this does not affect use.

    Regards, Randy
