A Note About Airtables:

For centrally powered tables you will also need:
Objects subject to Left/Right Reflection

This is what your table should look like once set up (Note: the table could also be blue)

Additional Images below:

Camera attached to threaded rod which is attached to 90 cm rod with right angle clamp

The Camera (C10.1) should be mounted this way

so that gravity pulls it into place.

Stand in image of a galaxy. Should be The small puck and the large pucks, one large puck has red tape on it and is labelled 1 the other large puck has blue tape on it and is labelled 2.

The pucks. Note, the small puck is no longer used (C10.2)
