Map the conditions you can observe

Build a set of next questions. No location score or greying deadline is calculated.

Your observation plan

  1. Create separate observation stations for sheltered and exposed faces.
  2. Keep rain-wet photographs separate from dry comparisons.
  3. Agree acceptable variation before using one reference image as an appearance target.
