Of course, I knew what he meant (because I know that he understands how
an equatorial mount works). I just found it amusing that he chose to
misinterpret Stephen's ambiguous comment, and then attempted to clarify
things with a similarly ambiguous comment. I'm quite sure Stephen also
understands how an equatorial mount works.
There's no escaping condescending school teachers on this group!
