If you cant see Polaris from far South of the equator, and the observatory is looking at a rotation of stars around a fixed point far south of the equator, it means they aren't looking at Polaris.

And are looking at another point.

They make the map coordinates looking at the sky

How is that relevant?

Assuming it's a ball

Don't those maps work "assuming it's a ball" though?

They are flat maps

Theyre flat maps, but not flat earth maps.

The coordinates are based off the sky being a sphere

It's just perspective

You can put whatever coordinates you want on a map

There is many ways it could be done

How do the maps relate to the star trails?

I guess making maps from stars creates this.

And perspective.

That's a very good question that heliocentrism cannot even answer unless you pretend the geometric and apparent positions are the same, which they cannot be not in heliocentrism not in geocentrism not in Flat Earth

I showed you a video from Australia

If magnetic declination is off 8 degrees in Australia, how many miles could things be thrown off from the north pole

Compasses dont even work in Antarctica

Very good indicator that nothing is where you think it is.

you already posted that

just re-spamming propaganda now, tell the lie often enough it becomes the truth

The video Citizen showed you clearly shows you there's a second deviation other than mangetic and geographic south

Correcting compass declination is propaganda? Of course it is. So are comic books.

Also, doesn't atmospheric refraction make an apparent Sun?

You're using the Sun as a reference of perfect west.

But aye, propaganda

Watch the globebuster video

@Quorum Your incessant need to argue without looking at the evidence brought forward is not appreciated. This suggests a narcissistic personality that only wants to overcome their own insecurities. Why argue with people you think are retarded? Who is really the retarded one here? 😡

Magnetic declination is as much as 179 degrees in Antarctica. Lol

That means you have to turn around to make a compass work lol

Australia and South America isn't Antarctica.

Lol

And since you know the exact degrees of declination, it's correctable, yes?

And I just showed you problems with magnetic declination in Australia

You ignore
