   I take repeated measurements until consistent readings. The temperature gun   
   shows thermal inertia. My objective is to show worst case. "If I were to   
   sleep rough, what would be the worst place to sleep on the ground?' I take   
   reading at a spot shadowed so it is never heated by the Sun. I shows the   
   aggregate cooling during the evening. If I were barefoot, what would be my   
   subject feeling of cold ground? Likewise, the sky readings are meant to look   
   for worst case. "If I were to sleep under a cold sky how cold would I feel?"   
      
   Next I will comment of accuracy and precision of gun.
