Allen D Some extracts from your last accusing me of getting it wrong, of being wilful, of not understanding even HC (obviously inferior) astronomy with my responses. I've commented them here in teal. [ PD ] Because the radius of rotation is trivial in comparison to the distance to the two stars in question and essentially plays no part in the process. [ AD ] IF that were true Paul please exaplain to everyone what causes the star trails we see every night?..Surely you are just kidding.........your stament contridicts your own position...... No it doesn't. Relative rotation on the axis between the camera and the object in question with the object in question at centre frame is what causes star trails. The axis must be the axis of rotation -- either Earth geographical polar axis or Earth orbit axis (Ecliptic) being the two axes under discussion at this juncture. The diameter of each circle (one per star) is determined by the radial displacement of the star making the circle from the axis of rotation. [ AD ] ...Paul i make a lot of mistakes but you You have absolutly no understaning of astronomy even MS astronomy....the rotaion about an axis is what causes nightly star trails......Go do your home work then come back and we might be able to talk....There is none around the annual axis radius "B" which is 23,000 times larger [ PD ] Again -- the radius of the rotation of the observer has no bearing on the size of the star trails where the stars are at a great distance.... Well you got the cause right here at least. Was that deliberate or accidental? [ AD ] You keep repeating this nonesense???? If that were true, then there would never be any nightly star trails at all .....any ......ever....... around any axis of rotation, if the radius was irrelevant!?..............I'm absolutly astoundeded that you cant see this.......Even in the nigthly star trails all the stars do not have the same size trail ..reason.....radius from the axis of rotaion.......!? HC/AC Astronomers disagree with you as well..? Iquoted the question and answer in my lasst post....... you are just avoiding it... [ AD ] Since you have demonstrated that you obviously either don’t know & or will not grasp the difference in axis of rotation in the HC construct and or what causes any star trails, to begin with,....... I personally don’t see how you can continue, except in perhaps wilful ignorance......... [ AD ] when you learn what axial rotions are involved in the HC/AC construct and what causes star trails ..then i think we can begin to debate this issue further......but as of now your own explanations contradict your own construct, even the HC/AC position about what causes star trails..? I've attached yet another picture for you to critique. What do you find wrong with this one? You should also have seen my post of Wed 31/10/07 11:21 AM by now.
