I can look up and down like anyone else, but problem is the sextant keeps its screen position. It's not possible to "lock" the bottom scale on the horizon and then look up to shoot higher stars. I guess that's the way the dragging works - chronometer also stays on same screen position wherevever you go.

For higher res I use kegety's solution for WinXP SP2. you should follow this link if you want to try:

Another thing, do you know where I can get hold of that 1280x1024 utility - I'll have to try it out to get more accurate readings
