First off, please excuse the horrible drawings...I am a writer, not an artist!!
This is the first observation I made. We did this one in class so that we could learn how to use the quadrant. When measuring the altitude of the Sun, it is important not to look directly at the sun, so you have to stand with your back to it and hold up your hand or a paper and look for an image of the Sun to appear as a ring around the straw's shadow.
At 10:00 am EDT on September 26, 2017, the Sun was 28° above the horizon.
