    The term Right Ascension took its name from early northern hemisphere observers for whom "ascending stars" were on the east or right hand side. In the southern hemisphere the east is on the left when an equatorial mount is aligned on the south pole.

    that is, the sum of the angles from the open-loop zeros to the point (measured per zero w.r.t. a horizontal running through that zero) minus the angles from the open-loop poles to the point (measured per pole w.r.t. a horizontal running through that pole) has to be equal to , or 180 degrees.
