There are different types employed on Cameras ( very practical) surveying instruments, aircraft, some types of Cranes, and submarines. There is a circular dial with a horizontal bar or bars on the center of the scale. movements of this bar correspond to actions of the vessel or vehicle. down is up- at least on aircraft and submarine models. Up is down-there are cross hairs akin to engineering instruments and rifle sights. it is quite involved- a stabilized platform is the tilting table reference- and is rotated by a gyroscope type instrument at a high rate of speed. More than that would plunge into the High Yellow- sensitive stuff. The type used on some cameras has a regular cross-haired sight but has a gravity spirit level superimposed in the view-finder so the operator can see both before he squeezes off- these things, even non-Gyro type are Expensive. They type used on some forms of hammerhead crane must be astronomical in cost- but look at the stakes!

What is an artificial horizon?

An artificial horizon is an instrument used in aircraft to visually display the aircraft's attitude relative to the Earth's horizon in situations where natural horizon cues are unavailable or unreliable, such as when flying through clouds or in poor visibility. It helps pilots maintain control and stability by providing a reference for pitch and bank angles.

How do you use a false horizon with a sextant?

To use a false horizon with a sextant, you would need to create an artificial horizon with a still reflecting surface, such as oil in a pan or a small pool of water. You would then line up the celestial body you are measuring with its reflection on the artificial horizon, allowing you to take an accurate sextant reading. This method is useful when the true horizon is obscured or not visible.
