Camera Alignment

It cannot be too clearly stated how important this process is. If the camera is not correctly aligned, then the times produced will not be accurate.

The alignment process is ADDITIVE.  Each step will bring you closer to success. Do not skip over a step if it seems too hard.

Do not worry about getting a perfect image at every step of this process, the picture tends to improve with each step along the route.
