Polar Alignment Using The Star Drift Method . Articles | ... This method with, a little practice, can give you reasonable polar alignment within one half hour. ... If the star drifts northward, your scope is west of the pole. ... Remember that as your adjustments get you closer to the pole, the star will drift slower and you must wait longer to detect a north-south drift. If the star drifts south, you are east of the pole and you must turn the mount towards the west. ... www.astronomy.net . ...

Someone standing on the Earth would see it go once around the sky every 24 hours, a reflection of the observer's own motion. ... To an observer on the Earth, this means the Moon is moving a bit faster than the apparent motion of the stars. This means the Earth has to spin just a bit more to "catch up" with the Moon. ...

... Maps of six sources (0420+022, 0420-014, 1308+326, 1345+125, 1803+784, and DA 193) obtained with milliarcsecond resolution are presented and discussed, together with their broadband (1­22 GHz) spectra obtained on the RATAN­600 radio telescope at epochs close to those of the VLBI observations. ... The image (Fig. 5) shows that the source structure at 18 cm is compact, consisting of a VLBI core and two jet components, with the outer component lying 5 mas (30 pc) to the northwest of the core ( = 54 ). ...
