Hi Bob: If you were at a geostationary satellite's hour angle (in terms of longitude) and at the equator it would be directly overhead. If the satellite were at infinite distance from the earth it would still be directly overhead (zero declination), and as you moved North from the equator the declination angle to see the satellite would be your Latitude. But geostationary satellites are much closer to the earth than infinity and so you need to look down a little so the declination is slightly less that the latitude. -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Sep 10 2017 - 12:25:01 UTC
