Times are taken using a Hewlett-Packard HP45 calculator as a recording stopwatch. The rate of change of altitude is measured as well as the altitude. Latitude, longitude and azimuth are then calculated. The sun does not need to be on the prime vertical....
but I've skipped them in this tutorial since this is more of an introduction to the methods of altitude tracking. For a quick and relatively accurate estimation of altitude, the elevation-angle-only method works well. Other methods, such as the alt-azimuth tracking method, often require multip...
