To assess the new location of the astronomical observatory
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
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.
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
