I currently have 2 asto programs on my computer, "Sky Charts" and Astro Helper.
I started comparing the Azimuth and Altitude locations for Canopus and they were way different.
eg. Sky Charts Az 133-58' Alt 33-38'
Astro-helper Az 131-06.7' Alt 42-36.7'
Both programs have the same lat and long keyed in and both are on the same time-zone.
I compared a couple of other stars and they were different aswell.
Anyone got any ideas?
I,m looking into attaching setting circles to my dob. Which one would I go by?
Time is definately set to GMT+11
My Lat is 37 21 6 sth
My Long is 144 44 32
Canopus at 10.52pm 2/12 is
Alt 54 32 5 Az 130 47 2 (astrohelper)
Alt 45 25 Az 130 38 (Skycharts)
