Success!

Advice for creating a horizon required using a theodolite to map it.
Hmm, don't have one handy.

Sooo, tried this and it worked.
I fired up the scope and EQ6 (daytime).
It was already aligned so 'start from park'.

Used the finder scope to centre on the tree line.
Then the UTILITY FUNCTION/Show Position on the Synscan hand control.
Made a list of Alt/Azm coordinates in note pad.

Entered the list into Cartes Du Ciel

The result is very accurate!
