About This Item

quadrant


How to use me:

  1. Locate the North Star, Polaris. You can also use it in the Southern Hemisphere if you know how to triangulate the Southern Cross and Centaurus constellations to locate the southern axis point.


  2. Hold the quadrant vertical and ensure there is nothing obstructing the weighted string. The weighted string must hang freely, but still lightly brush up against the degree scale.
  1. Hold the coin straight out from your face; and line up the two triangle points on the edge of the coin with the North Star.


  2. Once you have a good fix on Polaris, carefully pinch the lower end of the string onto the quadrant to prevent it from moving. Be careful to not pinch the string in a way that covers the degree scale.


  3. Turn the coin around and look on the degree scale to see where the string crosses it. You now have your approximate latitude.

Tak VK09 skoncilo a tak rychle zpet abychom mohli dorazit na Housku. Škoda, že nebylo více casu na ukázání, ale po získání 16. místa jsme všichni v týmu LePich meli myšlenky akorát tak na odpocinek.

Behem geosázení jsme si užili spoustu legrace, škoda že už je konec. Takže zase honem zpátky domu.

Z této nádherné série mám zatím jen jeden kousek, ale když jsem videl na Geosázení i ty ostatní, dlouho asi osamocený nezustane.
Díky
