When telescope pointing down, then tell me what will happen if we move a vertical staff?
Prit said:   5 years ago
If staff is not vertical, the reading will be too great. If staff is normal to the line of sight the value will be minimum or accurate. It will not be maximum. The intercept of staff increases when it is tilted away from normal and decreases or gets minimum when moved towards normal.
