Frank,
Thanks
for posting all this stuff.All really good,practical experiments and advice.I've
read your star to star procedure,used the math you provided to check the angle
of a few chosen stars against the predicted angles of said selected stars on a
planitary program I have.That is as far as I got.I'm a little busy and will be
for the near future but when I get more time I plan to do these experiments and
procedures you write of.
You
are a credit to this list.
Please
keep it comeing.
