I notice that the Theodolite site is credited to an outfit called "Aether Cosmology." I decided to look up their other publications, and found this mass of risible nonsense: https://invidious.tiekoet...

> Furthermore, their core assumption that star positions should appear lower to an observer on a globe than on a plane ("If the earth's curvature is real and causes the angular descent of stars") is faulty

Where's the fault? Can you be specific?

Stellarium uses globe data and it is considered very accurate for mapping the timing and positions of stars. That's why it was used. It's interesting how it's used as a source to support the globe model predictions in other scenarios, yet here it's 'not accurate'.

From the comment you’re replying to I quote; “the Stellarium software, on which they depend for predicting occlusion times, is intended for star observation session planning, not exact timing. It can be a minute or two off at times, and atmospheric conditions add more potential errors.”
