Here's my 'Heath Robinson' way of setting the initial steering alignment. I strapped two 8 foot lengths of timber to the wheels with bungees. I then set the steering wheel to straight ahead and then aligned by eye the offside timber with the rear wheel. I then adjusted the nearside tie rod until the two lengths of timer was parallel. I also checked both timbers were parallel with the chassis rails. It may not be perfect but it will certainly be good enough until I can drive the car have it set up professionally.

Whoops, Even an ultra-wide lens was not enough to get Mercury, on the lower right

You can seen the noise that's incurred by using the HDR setting aand also the loss of detail through the missed alignment of the different takes (look at the top-left corner of the sign).
Get yer nerves of steel on for using the HDR feature 'cause you'll need a steady hand to make effective use of it.
The CLCC recently completed and approved our first science planning document titled, CLCC Science Strategy: Mission Alignment, as an initial step toward identifying shared conservation priorities. While the document met its stated objectives, Steering Committee (SC) members and outside reviewers have suggested the next step is to develop a framework for implementation. To carry out this step, SC members approved the use of a process called Structured Decision-Making (SDM). SDM is a formal, prescriptive, values-based method for analyzing a decision by breaking the decision into components. The specific process used in the workshop is called “PrOACT,” which refers to the decision components: Problem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Tradeoffs. For the purposes of the CLCC, SDM provides a tool for achieving transparent, purposeful, and collaborative co-production of conservation—specifically, multi-partner landscape conservation design (LCD) for the Caribbean region.
To begin working through PrOACT the SC spent four days in El Yunque National Forest with decision support coaches Angela Romero and Mitch Aid (US FWS), Peter Freeman (USVI Independent Consulant) and Wanda Crespo (Estudio Technicos, Inc).
The objectives of this face to face meeting were to (1) introduce participating SC members to the SDM process so that they are comfortable with the process, its application, and its usefulness; (2) Frame “The Problem” SC members are jointly addressing (i.e., Step 1 of PrOACT); and (3) Develop a set of actionable “Objectives” based on CLCC shared values and priorities (i.e., Step 2 of PrOACT).
Steering Committee members agreed upon the following Decision Statement:
“The Caribbean LCC Steering Committee will develop and implement coordinated, efficient, and effective landscape-scale conservation design and strategy to conserve, restore and sustain ecological and cultural resources and services and human well-being in the Caribbean inside and outside of CLCC jurisdictional boundaries. The CLCC recognizes the following constraints and uncertainties: political and social environments, finances, multiple decision making authorities, diverse values, competing priorities, and climatic and ecological dynamics.”
The CLCC Steering Committee recognized themselves as the focal decision-makers and the organizations they represent as the implementers. The decision timeframe includes a 5-10 year planning horizon, 10-20 year implementation period (to institutionalize LCD), and the impacts of decisions will range from the present to 60 years to quasi-infinite. The group also agreed that the region of interest is the “terrestrial and marine components within the EEZ of the U.S. Caribbean, and Navassa Island, with consideration of relevant drivers, policies and impacts originating in the wider Caribbean region. The wider Caribbean is defined by UNEP.”
The Steering Committee also agreed upon four Fundamental Objectives, which will frame all future collaborative efforts of the CLCC (no particular order):
Maximize use of available operational resources
Maximize public satisfaction and well-being
Maximize the structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial resources
Maximize the integrity of cultural and historic resources
The Steering Committee agreed to create Tiger Teams, or subteams with a specific short-term task, to flesh out specific objectives and indicators for each of the Fundamental objectives.
Questions on this science planning process should be directed to CLCC Science Coordinator Brent Murry.

It looks slightly off in the picture, but it is just right. The pin in the front panel is just so I can tell which is the front panel when I am working from the inside. This is a normal size straight pin which gives you an idea how small this is to work with.
I had to ge the timing right on this. As the balloons moved around it took a bit of patience to wait for the exact moment where you could compose a shot like these. Of course the pilots themselves do not purposely do this so that makes it harder
The laser pointer is held between two routed V's. The mirror is attached to the face of a putter with grip tape. The laser is adjusted to shine on the middle of a golf ball six feet from the laser. The golfer aims at the hold and when the ball is removed the beam reflects back to a show the putter alignment. Something as simple as a cardboard box positioned behind the "hole" can show the reflected beam.

Once I'm well aimed at a star on the north-south meridian and on the celestial equator, it's time to attach the webcam. This is useful to automate the process of drift alignment.
For this first stage of drift alignment, I correct the east-west angle (azimuth) of the mount until the mount can track a star with little drift for 5 minutes.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Alignment is in the existence of human life and things that are always closely linked as in a circle, in accordance with the laws of nature. My use of images of men and women is to express the Yin and Yang, the convex and concave: are present here. The moon is to represent Heaven and Earth, being a body in between as a link.
