I understand why the bris sextant's calibration table would eliminate the
need for all of the normal corrections for a sun sight, except one. Example:
If you set up the calibration table for a "height of eye" of 8 feet, my
thinking is that you would still have to correct for a height of eye that is
either greater or less than 8 feet. Anyone else given this any thought? The
instructions seem to indicate that you wouldn't need to make any further
corrections. I wonder, since height of eye is typically such a small
correction, if the instructions just choose to ignore it. Thoughts anyone!
