Dr. John D. will be performing experiments on the Bedford Canal on April 13th. I find the matter to be interesting because, other than an attempt some time back that encountered lots of heat effects and extreme distortion in the distance, there have been no good modern repeats of the experiment on this canal.

Looking forward to what they come up with.
From ENAG, EXII:
"The above-named experiments were first made by the author in the summer of 1838, but in the previous winter season, when the water in the "Old Bedford" Canal was frozen, he had often, when lying on the ice, with a good telescope observed persons skating and sliding at known distances of from four to eight miles."
Wouldn't it be better from an atmospheric perspective to do this over ice, wait until the canal is frozen? Just curious.

I noticed mention of three different types of cameras.
Why do you think that is?
