From Backcountry.com:
"Brunton built the Eclipse Pro Mirrored Sighting Compass for surveyors, environmental engineers, foresters, and others who rely heavily on compasses. The compass mirror enables you to take accurate readings and see your target and compass dial at the same time. Plus, the Eclipse Pro incorporates Brunton's circle-over-circle alignment system, which eliminates the possibility of reading a bearing in reverse align the red circle that indicates north over your compass dial circle, and you'll know exactly where you're going. Geologists will appreciate the three clinometer systems and bubble level that help in getting strike and dip measurements of geological features."

"I bought the 8099 Eclipse after having owned other more traditional compasses. I have the 'Pro' Model which is identical to the standard 8099 except for the addition of a rather superfluous leveling bubble in the baseplate.

Always attracted by new ideas, I liked the way the 8099 allows precision sighting to one degree, along its imaginative circle-on-circle 'no-needle' magnet that is easy to align for a bearing."
