Re: Starmapping software

It is something else to see people intently opposing two of the
greatest human achievements - the creation of the equable 24 hour day
and its later adaption to axial rotation yet that is exactly the case.I
have to put this down to unfamiliarity and even if I am prepared for
the stupid objections of celestial sphere geometers there can be no
excuse for the silence surrounding one of the most fundamental
astronomical correlations of all .

Gezza lad, for once please tell me what you alone have acomplished or
contributed to the subject.
Try to move away from the monitor, go outside and put a stick in the
ground.
Over the next year or so mark the position of the stick's shadow at 24
hour intervals (or measure the time interval between the shadow's
successive returns to the original mark).
After the year has elapsed come back and discuss your observations.
Do try not to live vicariously through better astronomers and thinkers
than yourself.
Should we require the worthy Kepler's thoughts on the subject we know
well where to find them. When we require your direction on procreation
be assured we will seek you out.
