Remarks
The requested altitude should be interpreted by the driver as the position on the sky that the observer wishes to observe. The driver has detailed knowledge of the physical structure and
must coordinate shutters, roofs or clamshell segments to open an aperture on the sky that satisfies the observer's request.
