Objectives:
To assess the new location of the astronomical observatory
Results:
We assessed two locations
Location 2. lat 38 24' 24" / long 110 47' 30" (12 S 0518265/ 4250751) Elevation 1383 m, accuracy 4 m - distance from Hab approximately 39 m
Location 3. lat 38 24' 23" / long 110 47' 31" (12 S 0518265/ 4250751) Elevation 1382 m - distance from the Hab approximately 131 m
Comments:
Place Position Comments
Location 2 39 m from the Hab Higher horizon, more light pollution/ less cabling for power
Location 3 131 m from Hab Lower horizon, very good panorama, slightly higher than location 1/ more cabling for power.
Lessons Learned:
1. The further away from the hills you are the greater sky yo have to look at.
2. Radio functionality must be fully checked before we leave Hab
