Thanks for clarification...


But, there is one problem (I think). I've always suspected that measuring by stadimeter button (AKA fine aiming line) is introducing certain degree of error depending on how much stadimeter is moved up. That's why avoided to use it in my measurements...


Later I'll post few screenshots to demonstrate this "error". It could be that imprecision in aspect ratio fixes are effecting sextant function both from normal periscope/UZO and from sextant as well.


In his video, YS is also avoiding to measure altitude by using stadimeter button...I wonder, is it because of this reason...
