For this image, the pointing was at 62 degrees, nearly two-thirds of the way from straight down to horizontal

When I went to school, from vertical to horizontal was 90 degrees, and two thirds of that is 60, so the camera was more than two thirds of the way from straight down to horizontal. Someone, failed math. By the way, your [SOURCE} link isn’t valid.
