Description
In Part 2A, the student will learn the fundamentals of Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed and geodetic coordinate systems, dynamical time scales; apply the Method of [astro] Azimuth Determination at any Hour Angle with circumpolar and equatorial stars, sun, moon & planets followed by a practical exercise.
Students who participate in all four parts will leave with the confidence and skills to train surveyors and field crews on how to perform field astrometric observations by “following the footsteps” of their predecessors.
This course is ideal for young surveyors who were raised on satellite positioning technology. All surveyors with varying degrees of experience are encouraged to attend. Experience in trigonometric functions is required. The student should bring a calculator that can convert degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees and back, engineer scale, protractor, parallel rules (may be substituted using drafting triangles), and a mechanical lead pencil.
