    Greg:

    Have you ever used the table for distance off based on vertical angle between waterline and horizon beyond?  You don't need to know the height of the object, just your own height of eye. Only works well for fairly close objects and ones where the horizon beyond can be seen.

    . . . . I also use a sextant horizontally, for costal navigation, the other use I use it for on board is distance from a landmark of know height - works well. . . .
