@ned There’s a lot of days when I’m surveying with another guy. When we’re setting up and performing a resection it’s very critical that a clear sighting is made of the control point targets, so one of us often has to help block the sun hitting the scope. Sure, they make shrouds, but a hand works fine. Inevitably, due to the sun’s angle, and trying not to bump the tripod legs, this action turns into a Nazi salute. The look on a newbie’s face when you call them out…priceless.😂
