Hello From Upstate NY with a specific question
Hello From Upstate NY with a specific question
Hello,
Against my better judgment, I’ve been mixing it up with flat earthers who have colonized YouTube. Along the way I came across people who used the Dioptra cell phone app to take pictures from airplane windows to show the horizon below eye level or zero degree elevation. So I downloaded the app with the long term goal of taking such a picture from the top of Maine’s Cadillac mountain in August.
But when I did a test shot from Steward Park in Ithaca, NY — which I have attached/inserted–it shows the water going ABOVE the zero degree line. Is this because of a flaw in the app? Or do I just no understand what I am seeing? Either way, this forum seemed the place to ask, so I decided to check. And for the record, I am not a flat Earther. Thank you.

Your readings will only be as accurate as the phone is capable of.
Some apps have a calibration routine and others do not.
Thank you.
