11.7 Azimuth Sight Operation (optional accessory)

The MARINE DATA MD69AZI Azimuth Sight (Thomson Pattern) meets the International Standard

ISO 25862:2009 for the testing and certification of Group II Azimuth reading devices.

CAUTION: Always use Sun filters when taking azimuth bearings of the Sun; never
attempt to take bearings of the Sun with unprotected eyes.

11.7.1 Taking Bearings:

Terrestrial Bearings

For taking bearings of landmarks or objects with low luminosity (the arrow on the prism adjustment
thumbwheels = DOWN). A distant object is sighted directly by eye with the compass card being
simultaneously viewed indirectly through the prism. Maximum altitude 34° above the horizon.

Celestial Bearings

For  taking  bearings  of  the  Sun  or  other  celestial  objects  (the  arrows  on  the  prism  adjustment
thumbwheels  =  UP).  The  compass  card is  viewed directly  through  the  collimating  lens,  with  a
distant  object  being  simultaneously  viewed  indirectly  through  the  reflecting  prism.  Maximum
altitude 60° above the horizon.
