    Technique for sighting affect accuracy
    From: Randall Morrow
    Date: 2012 May 16, 07:35 -0700

    Just some quirky things I noticed lately...
    I normally shoot with my left eye and when I tried using my right eye accuracy decreased somewhat. Here are some sights and intercepts done on UNSO:
    Saturn 0.1A left eye, 0.9A right eye
    Venus 0.2T left, 1.2 T right

    You can focus a scope to shoot without using your glasses but in my case it decreased accuracy.
    Arcturus 0.3T with glasses, 3.7 without glasses

    Highe power scope may be problematic on small boats but on land I get more accurate sights.
    Arcturus 3 X scope 1.5T, using 7 X scope 0.0 and 0.2T
    Venus 3 X scope 1.9T, using 7 X scope 0.6T and 0.8T

    Sorry I did not include the raw sight data. It's too early in the AM.
    One more thing: i thoughit would be harder to "find" stars in the 6.5 degree field of view of the 7 X scope but this has not been the case. On a boat it would be another story.
    Clear skies, Randy
