You don't say! Really. Did I imply that it was?

Now you've moved to the bottom pit. You're the one who said Thuban was visible from the DP. Do you think you could pick a spot in the DP where you would have been able to view it. Or do you think it would have been visible from any position in the DP?

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?
It has absolutely nothing to do with which star is visible from within the DP.
BTW, it's not an aperture, it's an opening. Remember... it's not a telescope.
Did you not see Jon's drawings? Do you not understand that the farther into the DP you go, the smaller your "aperture" becomes?

Flattery will get you nowhere. I was pointing out your hypocrisy but it flew over your head.
