this particular light to come b~ck on.
Did you ev8r flgure out why we needed to hand­
r ecord all these things-why we had to record them

Well, it says to prepare sextant and photo-event
indicator for meas,.1rem<'!•1ts .
What do t hey mean
by photo- event indicator?
The photo-event indicator was to get the exact
time.
Remember , when you were doing star to
horizon measur~me~ts you had to have-­
No , but this is just for the star. I don't
understand the photo-cvant indicator.
I think
that just clobbers up our data.
That ' s right.
Yes, that Wlisn't applicable at
all. It didn't make any difference wha~ time it
was at all.
In fact, when I made a second run on this while
you were asleep one time, I didn't put the photo­
event indicator on.
No , there wasn't any need to put the pho~o-event
indicatoc- on this.
