Astronomers are able to anticipate measurement time

Some observers possess a negative personal equation that allows them to anticipate recording by approximately 0,1 seconds during observations with an astronomical telescope. This phenomenon occurs during the visual assessment of apparent speed with a magnification of at least 30 times. Astronomers thus manage to get ahead of the event thanks to the exact predictability of a star's passage.
