Todays project was to establish a astro north bearing for another surveying company whose client wants their house within one degree of an east/west alignment.

How's your horizon?

This particular piece of property was just purchased for $2.5 million. So if you ever wondered what a million dollar view was, here it is, twice over 🙂
Check out N41-44-37.05 W69-58-03 for the location. It's in Little Pleasant Bay, South Orleans, MA
Nice, Don. It's one of those days that makes you glad to be a surveyor, huh?
Must be an architect involved!
I wonder how close to your tolerance you'd be by just using a shadow mark?
Azimuth:
Grid?
Geodetic?
Astronomic?
Magnetic?

with all the declinations in it...(except true 😉 )

I trust your account reflected the land's "worth" >
Cheers,

If you put all of those on your deck you'd still be wrong.
