I\nexpect those will all be aircraft. So, in the short time they take to cross\nthe field of view, the earth does not rotate any meaningful amount.\nInteresting the ones with massive direction changes. I'd guess the location\nis not far from an airport. Not at all a good spot for Astronomy really :-)\n\nRegards,\nJim, ZL1TYF\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Andrew Rich\nSent: Monday, 31 December 2007 8:00 p.m.\nTo: Tom Clark, K3IO; AMSAT BB\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: [SPAM] Re: Dont loose the north\n\nThats awesome - so stars follow a circular track, and other objects from a\nline ?\n\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAndrew Rich VK4TEC\[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>\nhttp://www.tech-software.net\n\n\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On\nBehalf Of Tom Clark, K3IO\nSent: Monday, 31 December 2007 4:02 PM\nTo: AMSAT BB\nSubject: [SPAM] [amsat-bb] Re: Dont loose the north\nImportance: Low\n\n\nWith all this discussion about Polaris, I thought you might find a\ncouple of photos I took back in 2002 that shows you that the earth's\nspin axis is close to, but not precisely at Alpha UMi. Take a look at\nhttp://www.pbase.com/tomcat/aurora. The right-hand picture\n(http://www.pbase.com/tomcat/image/5186538)shows how the stars move over\nabout 4 hours. The star nearest the center of the arcs is Polaris; if it\nwas precisely at the pole, then the arc would have been a point.\n\nYou may also find the animated GIF photos of a (relatively) rare\nlow-latitude (Maryland) Aurora interesting.\n\n73 & Happy New Year -- Tom\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
