Where's the meridian?
My telescope is telling me to use the RA drive to point the tube at the meridian. I am at 35 degrees south (in canberra)
Is this telling me to point the telescope in the general direction of that imaginary line between north and south? Or is it asking me to point at a particular location (IE an exact position in the centre of the eyepiece?)
I have no idea what to point at. I can draw a line straight overhead from north to south, but that line would not be deadly accurate of course.
so, where is this fabled meridian?
BAz.
