"Rotate Phil's 90° clockwise." No, rotate the other one! Mine has north at the top. Call me old-fashioned but that's the way I like it. Phil Phil, you're old-fashioned. Andy |

In astronomy, old fashioned puts south at the top.
One of the great delights of my astrophotography is the fact that the capture software I use allows mirror reflections to be elected at the flick of a switch. One simple click, made once, and I ever after see the correct orientation on my computer screen. It always bothered me to no end that astronomers sketching the Moon, Mars, etc., used to make south-up maps instead of performing the simple transformation. |

Totally off topic, but look what happens when you view maps upside down.
Mike Seibert just tweeted this: Mike Seibert @mikeseibert · 16 hours ago Opportunity drove 10.7m to the north of Pompys Tower mound on Sol 4559 But he meant to say 'south' Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
