Just by the wildest of coincidences, I just walked back into the house
and my astrocompass is still set up on a tripod in the back yard.

It looks like the one one ebay has been modified with a small
telescope attached to the alidade and it looks like the telescope has
a small level bubble on top. If you are thinking of bidding on this
one note that the photos do not show a mounting base that you would
also need if you are planning to use the astrocompass. It is a
separate tubular pedastal with three mounting holes on the flange on
the base that is mounted in the aircraft and the astrocompass slides
into it. I think I might have an extra one around here somwhere but I
am not sure. Celestair might have them also.

The only think I can think of is that someone may have attached a level to it 
for land surveying.
