Good post, Robert. I'd say you summed things up well. i'd throw ya some rep points but, apparently the system is not designed to reward people who know what they're talking about-won't let me do it.
A rarely found device, used on merchant ships, is the alidade. It substitutes for the bearing circle on the gyro repeater and has a telescope and an adjustable prism. It will bring that distant lighthouse up close as well as allow you to take an azimuth on a dim star. I liked them as a young man, when everybody else said they were for the old guys with bad eyes, now that I'm an old guy....
