<< Thank you,
 
 If research indicates the universe has poles....and, as you 
indicate....Aquila and Sextans are not the poles of 0 GPV...then the next 
question to you is...
 
 What 2 star system do you suppose are the poles? Would that be an earth 
based North Star of the Big Dipper and another on the South? And what 
relation do you suppose the North Star has to Aquila or Sextans?

     Robert ...
 The Axis of the Universe is observed by us, from Earth, to align with
 Aquila and Sextans .. but as to what the axis is aligned-to in terms of
 galactic or inter-galactic "perspective" .. I don't know. And I don't know
 if our (Earth-human) astronomers know, either .. right now.

 Yes ... the ASM is "Earth-observer-Centric". And it is aligned, time-wise,
 to Jan.1, 2000 A.D. .. at least this "phase" or "this presenting" of the ASM 
..
 is correlated with sky-positions as observed from Earth .. @ Jan.1, 2000.
 Very, very, VERY ... remarkable !!  (To say the least).
 Then .. on top of that ... the ground-locations of many important structures 
..
 artificial structures .. on Earth, and at least at several locations on Mars 
..
 are aligned and precisely correlated_with_the Jan.1, 2000 sky-locations
 of prominent 'fixed' stars in our (Earth) sky_and_with Galactic Center and
 Solar Apex .. again .. as observed from Earth @ Jan.1, 2000 A.D.
 Just awesome !!!!!   BUT ... empirically verified !!!

 It is_our_current north pole star ... POLARIS ... that is aligned and
 correlated with the ASM .. POLARIS itself !! .. AS .. "the north pole
 star" .. OF .. the_"Earth-observer-centric"_Celestial Sphere !!  

 The big "tip-off" .. regarding POLARIS @ Jan.1, 2000 .. is its GPV ..
 which is .. 21.6 .. decimal harmonic of EARTH's *polar* circumference 
 in nautical miles !!!   { 21600 }.
 (Morton, 1999, Internet).

 If you look-up POLARIS' Jan.1, 2000 sky-location in the database I
 have consistently used .. which uses the sidereal zodiac and the ecliptic
 as references .. 
 http://users.cwnet.com/~sidereal/mag/astfixst.htm

 You see .. in that database ...
 3 deg GEMINI 49' 54"  and .. N.Lat 66 deg 05' 42"

 In the ASM .. you translate the given sidereal longitude to
 "ALNITAK" longitude .. the Orion belt-star .. which is the ecliptic
 prime meridian "marker" .. just as The Great Pyramid of Giza is
 the ASM "marker" for prime meridian on Earth's surface.

 ALNITAK .. is @ 29 deg TAURUS 56' 50" ..
 which is only 03' 10" from the TAURUS/GEMINI cusp.

 So; to translate the given sidereal longitude .. to the
 ASM longitude .. you count the deg, min, and sec of the 
 ecliptic sidereal location .. TO .. 29 deg TAURUS 56' 50".

 Counting from POLARIS' ecliptic sidereal location of ..
 03 GEMINI 49' 54" ... to 29 TAURUS 56' 50" ...
 you count .. 03 deg 53' 04" .. which is the "gross" translation 
 of ecliptic sidereal longitude to ecliptic ASM ("ALNITAK") longitude.
 (To nearest arc-sec).
 Next step .. involves ascertaining the ASM Grid LAT and Grid LONG ..
 which involves the_"fine-tuning"_of the gross (approximation)
 ASM deg, min, and sec for both longitude and latitude.

 03(deg) * 53(min) * 04(sec) E.ALNITAK ..
 =  636 (approx). E.ALNITAK.
 
 I happen to recognize "640" as the 'appropriate' (and intended) figure .. 
 related to the "64" DNA-codon number discussed by Jose Arguelles
 in "The Mayan Factor" .. related to the "I Ching". 

 For POLARIS' latitude .. north of the_ecliptic_remember ..
 the database gives us .. for Jan.1, 2000 ...
 66(deg) * 05(min) * 42(sec) North of ecliptic.

 The approximation would be .. 
 66 * 5 * 42  =  13860 North of ecliptic.

 I recognize .. 13824 .. as the apparently-intended ASM figure ..
 as a gematrian number .. meaning, in ASM definition ..
 that it has one of the 4 "gematrian number tangents" ..
 - 0.726542528 in this case. This is_also_the tangent of 
 the number 144. [Munck's work shows_several_examples of 
 arc-distances on Earth's surface .. precisely from a certain
 given monument to another .. over thousands of miles ..
 as being "arc-TANS" (in_statute_miles) of specifically-important numbers
 (as tangents) in the ASM itself]. Tangents are very important in the ASM.

 So; you now have .. (13824 / 640)  =  21.6 .. and the "21.6" pops-out
 at me .. because I'm so_familiar_with the 21600, the 2160, and
 the 216.  The 21,600 .. is not only the Grid LAT of Stonehenge
 (Munck, 1992, "The Code", self-published) .. but is ALSO the
 *polar* circumference of Earth in_nautical_miles !!  
    
 Notice the obviously_intended_correlation .. using *decimal harmonics*.
 21.6 .. GPV of POLARIS @ Jan.1, 2000 .. with; the "POLAR" circumference
 of Earth (21600) in nautical miles !!  Even the_*name*_(etymology) is 
correlative !!        
   
 13824 North of ecliptic ..
 =  66(deg) * 05(min) * 41.89090909(sec) North of ecliptic.

 640 E.ALNITAK ..
 =  03(deg) * 53(min) * 4.025157233(sec) E.ALNITAK.

 GPV of POLARIS @ Jan.1, 2000 ..
 = (13824 / 640)  =  21.6
 (Morton, 1999, Internet).

 I encourage you to use this email as an example .. 
 to which you can refer .. or; to which you can refer others.
