Rendezvous, it was very easy to see the size of the ATDA, with the nose cone grow at 1 mile. The angle subtended in the optical reticle was very good. Suggest the most practical way of determining the pitch angle is to boresight continually and get pitch off the ball or ou_ of the computer, instead of using the sextant for the initiation of Q. And it was very easy to ascertain when approximately 1/2 mile angle. We did not brake until we reached appro_mately 2000 feet, at which t_me we could see the angle that the ATDA subtended in the reticle. through the complete maneuver.
