3.4 Why compasses don`t point north
... The setup procedures for all computerized telescopes assume that you know which way is north. In altazimuth mode, any error that you make will be corrected as soon as you align on a star. In equatorial mode, however, the polar axis must point exactly north for smooth, accurate tracking; we’ll return ...

Homework #2 1. There are two ways to estimate the energy carried

This is the KE flux carried by moving blobs. The other estimate is that Fc ≈ ρ∆Evc ≡ Fc,2 where ∆E is the di ...
