So let me ask you a question here, does field rotation matter to the same degree which we see in a telescope as that which we see by the human eye? I culda done swore that when the Moon, which is infinitely more closer to us than those distant far beyond twinkler thingies up in da sky, moves about in our sky, why I can just shift myself and my eye to follow it? Nah, that's just simple ign'ant talk!

You once again show your own complete ignorance on the subject. Field rotation in an altitude-azimuth telescope is exactly the same as it is by eye. When you shift yourself and your eye to follow the moon you are doing so in an altitude-azimuth manner; looking up, down, left, or right. It is fundamentally the same as that of an altitude-azimuth telescope and as such it is subject to just as much field rotation.

Okay, then further indulge me as a kindergarten teacher would a child learning for the first time, okay?

Does the term Azimuth apply only to stars or to the moon also?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31757050


It applies to anything you can see in the sky, including the moon. You've already admitted your true intentions, so if you think I'm going to be patient with you the way a kindergarten teacher would, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Well maybe you can be patient with me just one more time? What are the disadvantages of such an altitude-azimuth telescope compared to an equatorial mount?
