Alex,

I use the Bris held in front of a telephoto lens. No need to wait for a special moment. Snap the shot then count pixels to the horizon. A different and unusual way to get a line of position.

Greg,

I have to say that I do not find this Bris very practical.
It is rather a toy than a navigation device.
The reason is that you have to wait for these pre-assigned moments,
there are few of them during the day, and at these moments
Sun can be obscured by a cloud, or you can be busy with something
else, or just miss the moment.

I am interested to hear from a list member who managed to
gratuate his/her Bris sextant:-)

Alex.
