Research funding project
Astrogeodetic measurement of Vertical Deflections for a centrimetric geoid. Project start by using Info theodolites and astrolabe Zeiss Ni2 2001 development of a transportable Zenith Camera: * Prototype ZC-G1 (f=20cm, CCD sensor MX916, controlled by Notebook) * Light & small (Dur-Aluminum, ca. 5 kg), tripod mounting * 4 zenith exposures (turned by 4 x 90°), ca. ±1" (2004, ~30 stars) * future plans: combination with GPS and vertical sensor.
