Alt Az Satellite Capture mount

After my success with the Iridium Flare the other night, I decided I need something better than guess and shoot. After a little thinking, I purchased a protractor, which I attached to a piece of wood, and a bit of string with a weight for a plumbline. This was attached to a spare Velbon tripod plate with the piggy back bolt from my tube rings. A compass was stuck on the back with bluetac as a test.

This worked well as can be seen here

A nice bit of thinking there and a good result with the image too.

John, that's ingenious! :notworthy:

And it works VERY well.
