With my newly acquired above sextant, doing the above has proved to be extremely tricky! No sooner do I make the correct adjustment, I find that when I lock the horizon mirror with the "L" key, a slight movement of the mirror occurs, throwing it out of alignment again.... I have to then go back and fiddle with it more, 'allowing' for this slight movement that happens when I lock the mirror. Can take me up to six adjustments to adjust it. Does anyone else have this problem with their SNO-T/SNO-T also? If so, are there any 'tricks' to help with it? Thanks, Lisa
