Angular Variation

A possible experiment is one that measures the effects of angular variation.  When the third scintillator plate was added, it decreased the portion of the sky that the telescope looks at.  Therefore, at different angles, the readings of the telescope should be different.  For this experiment a way to accurately measure the angle of the telescope needs to be established.  However, because there is about 12 degree error, it would not be practical to measure angles closer than about 10 degrees.
