For all the listners survived after having red the way Santiago used to
calculate the nodal point (Sorry Santiago:-) here's the procedure i follow
to find that bloo... N point:

1) I frame two objects: a close and a further one on the same vision line.
2) I pan the camera to bring those objects first to the right and - then -
to left of the viewfinder for checking the relative distance.

The more the distance remains costant, the more accurate the nodal point is.

ps: Santiago, did you ever thought to give some serious help to those brave
guys of the SETI project?
