Russian term or phrase: пригоризонтный
context:

Термин «пригоризонтный» означает, что для исследования движения небесных тел применялись визиры-указатели, позволяющие использовать линию горизонта в качестве шкалы для астрономических измерений. В принципе, если правильно подобрать место для расположения обсерватории, то этот метод позволяет делать астрономические наблюдения с очень высокой точностью, учитывая размеры «измерительного прибора».

The term "пригоризонтный" is contrasted with "призенитный".

Мне кажется древние пользовались каким то прибором чем-то типа теодолита (который используется в геодезии) для определения положения планет по отношению к горизонту , но я не специалист в астрономии, так мимо проходила
