Using a Solarcan Puck at lower lattitudes
The Solarcan Puck is a great little reusable solargraphy camera. It has a relatively wide aperture (f/90), so it can create a decent image in a single day. The limitation is that it has (for a camera of this type) a relatively narrow field of view - about 120 degrees. This means that if you have it mounted vertically, you are going to be able to record angles up to 60 degrees above the horizon. This is fine if you are above about 50 degrees latitude. At about 50 degrees, the sun will never be higher than about 60 degrees above the horizon. Why that value? Probably because of where Solarcan are based: in Scotland. What do the the rest of the world have to do then? You can restrict yourself to winter months - but that is not much fun. The other alternative is to angle your Puck upwards. But how far? In the worst case, on the Equator, the sun will be directly overhead at Solstice. This means that the Puck will have to be angled upwards at least 30 degrees - but this would mean tha
Finally I can see into the future... still 9 June here :)
ReplyDeleteAs a child I used to occasionally be taken on a bus ride that passed a garden full of gnomes. Was magical then and I love to see them now.. I suffered from travel sickness then too, and seeing the gnomes meant the journey was nearly over.

Rob Masters And it asked us if we could try for 70m?
ReplyDeleteI don't thinks there were logs and mushrooms in the base game.
ReplyDelete4 logs and a flock of birds ...

Wow!
ReplyDeleteSound is on. There can be unexpected consequences. Interaction with the trebuchet can be amusing.

The clouds are distance kickers too. I thought that I did alright with just a hair under 1000 but that 2096 was awesome!
