301.95-239.66 =62.29
62.29/2= 31.145
31.145+239.66
270.805 Camera direction
Pointing that direction from your tripod, with the camera pointed that direction, both areas of the sunsetting Dec/June must have a lens that will capture both areas
The tripod needs to be set in the same place for the June/Dec time lapse.
The same number of pics per minute must match.
June use 101a for the file name prefix.
Dec use 101 b for the file name prefix
When the captured pics from both shoots are merged into the movie program, they will whiz by and it should produce a video of the sunsetting botyh sides of the scene.
Except for the sun, the rest of the scene would be exactly the same.

Trying to put both on the same bracket too woobly, couldnt see the sunset spot because sun flare
next step
Earlier in the day
* Get the gps from the pole in the fairgrounds and pipe on top of mt pleasant, check the true direction check it with google to calibrate the camera gps/
* Do a sr/ss complete view with the wg pointed at 270 degrees
* Do a sweep using the compass tripod with the k70, once 270 is established the gps unit will not be needed
* wg pointed at 270 doing a time lapse, regardless of sunflare the sunset degrees will be visible from the daylight pic recording it.
