Thesis: Standing at the Equator facing east the stars will rise from a horizontal angle north or south of east equal to their declinations. They will travel anticlockwise in a vertical semi-circle to reach a maximum altitude of 90°-their declinations and set towards a horizontal angle north or south of west equal to their declinations.
