CW/CCW Inclinometry, & c.


A CW/CCW pair of inclinometry runs was taken on 09 May, and a further 5 CW runs were taken over the weekend when weather was too poor for observing :

The temperature data from the fixed TMU inclinometer are OK so data were processed into a track model in the conventional way. The models resulting from the CW data of May 09 are compared below left with the (CW, el=90) model from the 29th, while the CW & CCW models from the are compared below right :

The CW data look little changed from 29 Apr, while the new cw-ccw data compare favourably with previous such data.

The remaining (CW) data are shown below by comparing with the model of 29 Apr :
