Calculate Correction Formula for Sun-O'-Plane Angle

[jskillz411]

so imagine you have an airplane traveling at an axis projecting a signal vertically down along AF axis and you have some point O on AF axis and a refference angle Sun-O-Plane . the plane gets affected by some rolling motion at a certain known angle... now the axis shifts to A'F' and O become O' I drew a little picture to show my idea. I'm trying to come up wit a correction formula to find out what the new Sun-O'-Plane angle would be .The sun could be at any position. and the information known would be the S-o-P angle along with the planes altitude.

any feed backs guys would be great =)

There is no single "correction formula" that can be used to find the new Sun-O'-Plane angle, as this will depend on the specifics of the situation. Generally speaking, you could use the known S-o-P angle and the planes altitude to calculate the angle of the sun relative to the plane's new axis, which would then give you the desired Sun-O'-Plane angle. You may also need to take into account other factors such as the angle of the sun relative to the original axis and the amount of roll motion the plane experienced.
