This experiment uses the
random sawtooth signal produced by a zener diode in series with a resistor
(link to A Simple Zener Diode Circuit and link to Zener Signal Amplification). The Lociscope uses
the line though two zener diode point sources of randomness, to scan an arc
across the sky (pole to pole) each minute. As the earth turns on it's axis, the
entire cosmos is scanned each day.
The amount of agreement between the rates of zener discharge is determined every one millisecond. The amount of agreement is converted to a color (red to blue) and is plotted to a celestial coordinate map, with a horizontal axis of 24 hours (Right Ascension) and with a vertical axis of the distance from the ecliptic (Declination).

The images produced by
the Lociscope, appear to be random and homogeneous, with no discernable hot
spots or cold spots. I conclude that there are no directional components to this
experiment (link to The Lociscope).
