Hey Astro,
You said that Orion was where it was supposed to be yet Polaris may not be... If the earths axial rotation was off, wouldn't all the constellations have measurement anomalies as well?
Obviously I'm no astronomer and there very well may be a good explanation for this, so looking forward to seeing what you come up with tonight.
Hopefully you get good weather this evening.
If I went and got a telescope, how hard would it be for a beginner to take these measurements themselves?
Quoting: CalmShock Sorry for the confusion; Orion was where it should be relative to the surrounding stars. If my initial measurement of this anomaly is correct then Orion would be off from the axis of rotation by 6 arcminutes as well. Have you watched that goofball's video in the Orion thread? Just eyeballing it, does where he says it moved too relative to the anomaly you have found thus far? Of course Orion did not move, if anything, all constellations would be off because we moved.
