Calibration
“Okay,” said Virgil, looking between the heavy textbook he held and the computer monitor. “Angle it… seven and a half degrees, to the left.”
John bent over the large telescope and carefully repositioned the lens. “Seven and a half,” he said. “Is that it?”
“Hang on…”
“Hey, guys,” said Gordon, coming in. “What’s going on? Is Alan in trouble up there already?”
“No,” Virgil laughed. “Alan and Thunderbird 5 are fine. We’re just having some fun.”
“Oh!” said Gordon, smiling. “Can I have a look?”
“Sure,” John agreed. “If somebody gets this thing calibrated.”
Virgil sighed, theatrically. “Back to work.”
