    Re: body not aligned with reflection in artificial horizon

    Thomas,
    
    True to a point but you can also be out of alignment by a bit and still see
    the reflection in the pan.
    
    In any event, I was grasping at straws on this one. David indicated that he
    had already performed the necessary adjustments to his sextant.
    
    cheers
    
    Robert
