An Automatic System for Determining Astronomical Azimuth

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Results of a study to create a high-precision system for determining astronomical azimuth are presented. The composition, structural features, and algorithmic support of the device are considered. Results of an estimation of the precision of azimuthal measurements that confirm the high precision characteristics of the device are presented.
