Black Drop Training
[2048 x 1536 pix

Robert Wielinga
[This intriguing device was used during the VT-1874 expedition
by a team of Dutch astronomers to the French Ile de
Réunion. It was set up a few hundred meters
from the telescope. There is a white background behind
it and with the screw to the left the round disk may be
moved back or to the black curve at the right. It was used
to practise measuring the 2nd and 3rd contact. The black drop
effect also shows up with this device and it helped the
astronomers to find their own personal error in measuring
the contact times . This device is now in the exhibition
"Venus achterna" (chasing Venus) in Museum Observatory
Sonnenborgh in Utrecht.]
