Reading the Brightness Charts

​  When reading the chart to the north, east, south, and west, hold the chart with your arms extended above your head to prevent your body from blocking light coming from behind you.

​  When reading the chart facing the ground, hold the chart with the edge resting against your legs, and your arms extended.
