Product Details

The Davis Instruments Artificial Horizon is an essential tool for sextant users who cannot rely on a natural sea horizon. Perfect for backyard practice sessions, finding exact positions when inland, and taking precise sextant readings during foggy conditions when the natural horizon is obscured.

How It Works:

Simply fill the enclosed reflecting chamber with water and measure the angle of the reflected sun or celestial body with your sextant. Half of your sextant reading equals the sun's true angle above the horizon, allowing you to calculate your position accurately without a visible natural horizon.

Key Features:

  • Windproof design prevents surface ripples for accurate readings
  • Corrosion-resistant construction for long-lasting durability
  • Completely enclosed reflecting surface protects against contamination
  • Includes two sun shades for optimal viewing in bright conditions
  • Comes with protective lid and complete instructions
  • Compact size: 6" × 4" × 1.5" for easy portability and storage

An indispensable navigation aid for celestial navigation practice, land-based position finding, and marine navigation in challenging visibility conditions.

Happy with purchase

Everything worked fine. 1st time buyer, I hope your shipping setup is as good as your website.

very good , i will wait for tracking.

Excellent prices. Delivery was fast. Great site to order parts from.

Lowest price for the part, 1/2 the shipping of others. Ordered Monday nite here on Thursday. The right part. Things are good.

As I'm not familiar with your company, I was shopping by price and even with a more expensive shipping fee autoplicity.com was the least expensive. The order arrived on time without any problem. I'm very pleased and will order in the future.

It has been a smooth and easy process. I would definitely use them again.

Easy website to shop on. Good phone support. Package will be arriving in a timely manner. All in all seems like a good company.

A+ part as advertised, quick shipping.
