Hi there again. Thanks a heap for putting me onto the Astronomy 161 lectures. The other day i couldn't work out how i could see Magelanic clouds, especially as the SMC is around 10 degrees below the south celestial pole.
Now i realize that because im at 26S, the pole should be about 64 degrees above the horizon - yet is that right? Now im not sure - ill keep reading.
Anyhow, it is above my southern horizon with explains the clouds.
Man i look forward to the day when i can chuckle at noobs rambling on like this!
