Let us hope he is not trying to view the sun. I may well be wrong, but
to my eye he does not have any shades in place!

As to left eye dominant, I'm am just *barely* right-eye dominant. I do
my observations left eyed. At the present my left eye has better vision,
but when I started my right had better vision. After hundreds of
observations I discovered my left-eye sights had significantly better
precision and accuracy. Perhaps do to astigmatisms a right angles to
each other from eye to eye.

I also prefer using the left eye as the sextant blocks the sun and I can
usually shoot with both eyes open, which some seem to believe is
beneficial from a safety standpoint--especially on a smaller vessel.
