Abstract

See full text

A device and method for estimating the elevation angle of one or more objects surrounding a user terminal, include a light-collecting lens arrangement that collects sky scene light from a wide angle, an eyepiece lens arrangement that collimates the sky scene light collected by the light-collecting lens arrangement, and an elevation limit marking that is superimposed over the sky scene light. The elevation limit marking defines an elevation angle above a horizon of the earth that all the one or more objects in a field of view of the device must remain below so that the user terminal has an unobstructed view of the sky in all azimuthal directions.
