K show me a horizon that drops.
Ok i can tell you my measurements, show you images, would that suffice?
I can show you footage from a redbull jump from 128 thousand feet and the horizon didnt drop
Didd that include a theodolite, and an accurate indication of horizontal eye level?
Have you heard of an apparent horizon?
Yes, but I'm measuring the visual horizon
That's the better one to use
Theodolites are only good up to about 400 yards
I can give you manufacturers specifications
You didnt do your research
wait do you know what a theodolite is?
it measures angles, not distance
sorry I'm a CE surveyor, you're wrong
The angles can only be measured accurately up to 400 yards or so
No you're wrong
yards isn't angle
Lol
i'm not using it in distance mode
No you're 100% wrong sorry
Its not accurate past 400 yards
And it can tell you horizontal accurately
Show me specs saying a theodolite measures a horizon 6 miles away
Then ill believe you
Gtg
This explains it well : http://www.johnsonlevel.com/News/TheodolitesAllAboutTheodo
It isnt' measuring the distance
Can you SEE the horizon through the sight of the theodolite?
then you can measure teh angle
And that's all you need
K where does it say accuracy
For distance
It's not used for distance
it's used for measuring angles
like a sextant
You cant measure an angle that far away
Youre wrong
A theodolite /θiːˈɒdəlaɪt/ is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes.
No you're wrong, if it' sin your view you can measure the visual angle
Dunno why you're saying this
Just like i can measure angular size of the moon or sun
