Well, what we really need is a moveable vertical scale, just like the compass in periscope or binocs view. This would settle the problem once and for all.

Can't say I know much about this real navigation stuff (though I'm very much in favour of realism generally speaking) but do I understand you correctly in that you require something that can measure an angle of elevation? Between the horizon and the sun, or something?
If so... depending on how high you need to be able to measure the angle... I can think of a way to do that.
Please don't tell me you need to be able to measure it all the way up to 90 degrees though (sun directly overhead).
