Artificial Davis Horizon

Master the Art of Celestial Navigation with Unmatched Precision
Say goodbye to the limitations of natural horizons with this cutting-edge artificial horizon, a game-changer for navigators and astronomy enthusiasts alike. Designed to deliver pinpoint accuracy in any environment, this tool is your key to unlocking reliable sextant readings—whether you're practicing in your backyard, navigating inland, or facing the challenges of foggy conditions at sea. No more second-guessing your measurements; this device provides a stable, reflective surface that ensures consistent and dependable results every time. Built for durability and ease of use, it’s the perfect companion for both seasoned mariners and those just beginning their journey into astronomical navigation.

Built to Perform in Any Condition
Engineered with precision in mind, this artificial horizon features a robust construction of high-quality plastic and glass, ensuring it stands up to the demands of outdoor use while maintaining its accuracy. The windproof and corrosion-resistant design protects the reflective water surface from disturbances, guaranteeing reliable readings even in less-than-ideal conditions. Its compact, foldable form factor makes it incredibly portable, fitting seamlessly into your navigation kit so you’re always prepared, no matter where your adventures take you.

Everything You Need for Effortless Setup
This artificial horizon comes complete with all the accessories you need to get started right away. Two sun shades help reduce glare, while a protective cover keeps the reflective surface clean and ready for use. Detailed instructions guide you through the setup process, ensuring you can achieve optimal performance from the moment you unpack it. Simply fill the device with water, align your sextant, and you’re ready to take precise measurements—no complicated adjustments or additional tools required.

Simplify Your Navigation Process
Using this artificial horizon is as straightforward as it is effective. Fill the device with water to create a perfectly level reflective surface, then use your sextant to capture both the direct image of the sun (or another celestial body) and its reflection. By superimposing these images, you can measure the angle with confidence. Divide this measurement by two to obtain the true altitude, and apply the necessary corrections using standard navigation tables (0m column). This method eliminates the guesswork, providing you with accurate data for plotting your position—whether you're on land or preparing for your next voyage.

Perfect for Land-Based Practice and Skill Building
Ideal for navigators looking to refine their skills in non-marine environments, this artificial horizon is a must-have for backyard practice or training sessions. It’s also an excellent tool for beginners eager to learn the fundamentals of celestial navigation, offering a hands-on way to build confidence before setting sail. Keep in mind that this device is designed for stationary, land-based use—stability is key for accurate readings, so it’s not suitable for use on moving vessels. By upgrading from basic liquid-filled containers, this tool incorporates filters and wind protection to enhance both accuracy and usability, making it a superior choice for serious navigators.

This artificial horizon is designed to deliver precision and durability in a compact, user-friendly package. Measuring just 6″ × 4″ × 1½″ (15 × 10 × 4 cm) when folded, it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The reflective surface is completely enclosed, offering protection from wind and corrosion to ensure accurate readings every time. Weighing only 0.7 kg, it’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it an ideal addition to any navigation kit. Made from high-quality plastic and glass, this device is built to last, providing reliable performance whether you're practicing on land or preparing for your next voyage.
