This is a 3 turn horizontal velador study using a workbench for a table with the Wheel on top of the table, down in the basement, where the temperature and humidity are more constant than other areas in the house, and muffleling any curse words or loud shouting if the need arose. Taking the place of a hermetically sealed vacuum chamber with rigid environmental control and shielded from atmospheric charge. Temperature was 58.2 F. The bar was 2 meters. The camera worked to perfection and I salute it as it was having starting problems, cause not known. This was for my curosity steming from CMEdwards trial 8 data finding minimal motion of the light spot. The way I see the Velador working is that if the motion is directly ahead or directly behind the camera / laser axis no motion will be detectable. Also if the motion is at a straight up or down direction from the camera no motion will be found as the motion affects the spot the same all the way around in turning. ie say straight up the effect will be the same for all pictures and thus not be measurable.
As an obsrvation when the black center of the spot is small and the pattern is tight, in general little motion is found. These groups of spots have the most consistently small spots I have noted.
Previously I can not recall finding so small of changes to the data. Especially comparing opposite directions. The motion seems to have gone or minimized to a considerable degree. I asssembled the setup just as I always have, taking it from a long term study stationary and mounting it on the turntable. No new changes were made.
I am postulating that the upcoming Summer Solstice has something to do with this effect. As the earth's North pole is now pointing more directly to the sun and at my lattitude is very near vertical, not quite as the lattitude is 45 degrees North. This in conjunction with the galactic velocity (not easily found with a horizontal setup but more so with a vertical setup) is hiding the normal velocity. I believe when the solstice is past things will get back to normal findings.
Since I am doing "hand analysis" of the points I believe my lowest sensitivity is probably about 2.5 pixels either way. And that is a lot and I wished I could get CMEdwards Qbasic program to work for me but I can not. And I wish I had his automaticitity for taking pictures, and on and on.......
Actual Data Photos
I have uploaded most of the 6-11-2007 photos to the gallery section. Just go to the gallery page and you will see 3 topics, Choose the 6-11-2007 to see the pictrures. I t is amazing to me that the photos all look about the same. Even the dust spots on the imqages show at avbut the same part of the images from one to the next. I am trying to think of what I could hae done to get these this way and the technique is the same. So is there indeed little motion now that can be detected with a horizontal rotation setup? I just do not know. Suppose from now on all the photos show the same image. Then I have always said if anyone can do that then light does pick up lateral velocity, but I still think not.

Datain chart form measuring the center of the laser spot.
The first colums
represents the position the camera was in with the laser in the opposite
direction.
North = the camera is in the north and laser in the south.
The second column is the picture number where some were from the long term study and several blank shots used as markers. These pictures are not shown
Thus some picture numbers are missing.
Then comes the X values followed by the Y values.
