MO-SYS StarTracker Max - Page 4

Star density may be increased at a later date. Create even density in the constellation up
to the boundary, avoiding congestion. Sensors have a 120- degree 󰍓eld of view, hence,
stars placed further than the tracking area remain bene󰍓cial. Avoid mounting behind
cables or alongside structures where stars may become obscured. Stars may be mounted
at an angle or on walls if necessary.
If you put stars onto sca󰍒olding poles or lighting trusses, only stick middle of stars and
keep two “wings” on the side to increase the star surface seen by the sensor.
Summary
Fixed: mounted on permanent structures
Placed as randomly as possibly
Di󰍒ering heights: placed on at least two levels
Well separated: spaced apart not clustered
Clearly visible: without cables hiding stars
Approximately 30 stars in the tracking image, minimum is 14
Good distribution through sensor camera 󰍓eld of view
2.2 Star Installation Examples
An example of a 5-metre-high ceiling. The stars are positioned randomly with ideal spacing
across the ceiling and lighting grid. The re󰍔ective metal surfaces do not present a problem for
the StarTracker sensor.
