The following photograph was captured with a C-14 OTA mounted on an EQ-2 mount. The mount was intentionally mis-aligned from the polar axis to create drift in the DEC axis so that the sinusoidal periodic error in the RA axis is made visible.
Note that the scale in red was added for clarity. The image is otherwise completely unretouched. The Full Size image also depicts a 2 arc second square box for comparison. |
