    Sun sights with Empire torpedo level:
    GPS 35°19.4N 119°05.5W
    IC= -0.2

    3x scope

    Hs 77°10.2
    Ref +14.7
    Ho 38°49.7
    Hc 38°50.1
    a=0.4

    Sight tube

    Hs 78°26.4
    Ref +14.8
    Ho 39°27.9
    Hc 39°28.8
    a=0.9

    7x scope

    So with a 10$ Empire Tru-Blue torpedo level and a mirror AH, good results achieved on sun sights using 3x, 7x, and oopen tube. The levels were reversed for readings on both axes. Set up and leveling took less than 5 minutes. The 3 sight run, including changing scopes took 1 minutes. I guess that work on my 20 second levels was excess. They look really cool though.
