- The sample solution reports Sirius at 86.9° bearing and −35.4° altitude, below the horizon, with a J2000 reference frame.
Field notes
The visible example uses a spherical horizontal transform and reports local sidereal time alongside bearing, altitude, and horizon state. Its history section pairs specific interpretations with named sources, including a debated reading of a Great Pyramid shaft; the page explicitly distinguishes that reading from evidence of a working observatory.
