I see that many have got this book, I got one a week or so ago and have found an error.

RA of Polaris is quoted as 1hr 49 mins on page 91

Well yes it was in 1950 its now 2hrs 32 mins or threreabouts

Well I'm quite chuffed with myself for noticing it as I have an Skywatcher Supatrak mount and have not needed RA up to now.

It shows that even the best can make mistakes or not get new star catalogues.

If it's anything like their car and motorcycle repair manuals I suspect there will be quite a few errors lol

Indeed - I have the Millennium Falcon manual and do you think I can get my hyper-drive fixed?!

Cheers, Han
