Azimuth is the horizontal component of a direction (compass direction), measured around the horizon, from the north toward the east (i.e., clockwise) in astronomy and geodesy and from the south toward the west (i.e., clockwise) in surveying. It is us...

Turns out the highest point is Ebright Azimuth, soaring up to 448 feet. Now, IMHO, you can have your Mt. McKinley (Denali), AK at 20320 ft, your Mauna Kea, HI at 13796 ft, or even California's Mt. Whitney at 14494 ft. Me? ...

Questions & Answers
Using a compass to find azimuth and altitude of the sun/moon?
I've seen a few posts about this subject, but I've yet to find anything that instructs you on how to actually use a compass to find the azimuth and altitude of objects in the sky.
I need to be able to find the altitude and azimuth of the moon every night, as well as the azimuth of the sun when it is setting. How do I use a magnetic compass to do this?
Thanks!
You can get the azimuth (compass bearing/direction) using the compass normally, but without an clinometer feature in your compass, you'd be hard pressed to work out the angle of inclination of the moon or sun with reference to the horizon.
If you don't know how to use a compass at all, you'll be better off searching on that first - it would be a waste to try and duplicate that info here. Try some of the links below.
For inclination, if your compass doesn't have a clinometer, you can make your own. Here's one site to give you some pointers. (http://www.rondexter.com/professional/sun/home-made_clinometer.htm) Work from this and I'm sure you can come up with something.
when does the sun appears the farthest north in azimuth and farthest south in azimuth?
when does the sun appears the farthest north in azimuth and farthest south in azimuth?
Northern hemisphere:
Farthest north -- summer solstice
Farthest south -- winter solstice
Southern hemisphere:
opposite of northern hemisphere.

Does anyone know of a commercial azimuth brake or lock for a Meade Lightbridge telescope?
To use an EQ platform with a Dob telescope, I need to lock the azimuth axis. Anyone seen a solution on the web or know of one available?
This company might be able to help you:

Also try looking around at http://www.atmsite.org and do a websearch for equatorial platforms.
