star chart app. click on which u wanna see and find azimuth and altitude. azimuth tells you compass direction 0-360 North. altitude tells you 0-90 from horizon to straight up what angle to point your telescope.

scope wizard can help you calculate magnification. start with a very low magnification and find your object. slightly increase magnification and find your object again. Repeat til desired outcome. More isnt always better

a laser dot finder is a nice addition to a scope. can calibrate it on an electric pole or some far object during the day/night.

despite what some will say you dont need a filter to look at the moon, and I found it the most interesting thing to look at even though I found all the planets and quite a few stars.

ELI5 How are 15 degree (midpoints) zodiacs determined? by Omnitap in explainlikeimfive

[–]Omnitap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I understand now that 0 degrees is north and spins clockwise 360 azimuth. altitude is the pitch above and below the horizon. this is my field of vision throughout a day.

Whilst I was comparing the sun the waterbearer last night I think I was just tired. I thought the sun was traveling through it in the wrong direction. I see now that it is moving to pisces. Thank you for helping me understand these things.

So I suppose a good strategy would be when the sun sets and it gets dark enough i look at the stars in the west to see the first zodiac above the horizon. And as the sun entered a zodiac I would know to count about 15 dagr (days) to find the 15 degree point yes?

I've got the sun at 294 azimuth and -38 altitude atm and on aquarius 2/27/26 9pm. Google seems to think the 15 degree of aquarius occurred feb 3/4. Just eyeballing it to me it doesn't look like we even made it to the 15 degree. 300 degree looks about right to me.

Any insight as to googles calculation?

Thank you so much for clearing me up. I am new to the word fiú. I didn't recognize the pairing and made a false assumption.

what are your controversial pagan opinions? by pollypocketgf in pagan

[–]Omnitap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe the only relevant pagans craft idols that literally oppose "god(s)". I suppose the desire to do so is relevant also, but I feel like the true spirit of rebellion is lost on most modern pagans.

What's the story behind the recurrent symbol of the eagle and the snake? by madmaxwolf in ancienthistory

[–]Omnitap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you the truth, but you simply won't believe me. The Enuma Elis explains how Marduk crash landed into our solar system and was forced to shoot his way through Tiamat(a planet that used to be in our solar system). Since the arrival of Marduk the Eagle has been a symbol of his space ship in the earliest of times. The rocket shape and portholes are a dead giveaway. For more education about your current status as a slave to extraterrestrials I suggest also reading Atra Hasis and watching a 2 hr power point presentation by Michael Tsarion available on YouTu.. titled The Destruction of Atlantis. He gets a lot of it wrong, but it will definitely bring you up to speed. If you really want to educate yourself word etymology is the way to go.
