Question

what is an instrument used to measure the altitude of a Celestial object above the horizon

Answer 1

Hey mate, Here's your answer.

An astronomical quadrant is essentially a graduated quarter of a circle, set up to measure the altitude of celestial objects above the horizon. The graduations from 0 - 90° are on the circumference, or limb of the instrument, over which usually a sight or index arm moves.
