You know how the stars move as the night progresses. Well is it the declination that is varying with time? I don't think that it's the right ascension because with that you measure the angle from the vernal equinox to the point of intersection of the star's meridian with the celestial equator.So it would be constant I think. Also the star's meridian is the path that the star actually follows isn't it??
I'm just trying to get my head around this because it's kind of confusing for me anyway.
I'd appreciate any feedback on whether I'm a complete prat or if I have just a little bit right. :)
