SkyMap has alpha UMi at Dec 0 degrees and altitude +52 degrees from London so+52 deg. ( = latitude) up from the N horizon seems right.I’ve just stuck a clinometer on my equatorial (set up 35 years ago!) and confirmed it.

I’ve just fired off my latest broadside to the BBC, so we’ll see what they make of that!I’ve attached the file below – it’s a straight .TXT again so best to read offline. [file name=BBC_Complaint1.txt size=28062]/images_old/fbfiles/files/BBC_Complaint1.txt[/file]And here it is in .DOC (MSWord97) format, which should make it easier for those who can read it that way. [file name=BBC_Complaint1.doc size=76800]/images_old/fbfiles/files/BBC_Complaint1.doc[/file]

Sorry folks – did not make the menu item ‘public’ (only us admins).You should find it on the Members menu now. And a small version in the right hand column slots of a few pages.Cheers, Callum

Also it has to be less than 150KB in size, and you can only attach one image per message.Callum
