Paul Hirose & George Huxtable,
Gentlemen, Thank you! I see that there are many 'holes' in the pitcher
of my understanding some of my own making; and some basic over
simplifications
drilled into my head in high school.
Thanks again,
Greg
Original Message: From: Paul Hirose....As already explained by George
Huxtable,
the month to month variation in the declination of Polaris is largely
caused by
the annual aberration.
