Comments:
Sadly, due to an aberration of circumstances we could not conduct this experiment at a timing that would be preffered, being solar noon. A collaberation of bad timing and possibly other mistakes commited by amateur scientists, such as us, our results might not be what professionals might find to be true. We aplogize for any inconvinience or misjudgement our results might cost. -Thank You for your cooperation.
