===Results and final comments===
I discovered a small, yet interesting change in the results since my last observation.<br>
The latitude '''has changed slightly!'''<br>
Although the new latitude is only about 0,5° greater than the last one, such small angle is quite a lot of pixels (almost 15 in this case). Even though my reading of the rotation center was not as precise this time, it's enough proof that something has changed.<br>
I will still write the same value though, since I'm rounding down, but don't forget this is a quite big change.<br>

===Intro===
<font style="font-size: 8pt;">Day of Awakening, week 1 of the starfall of Fires, 991<br>
Once again, after getting requests from several other people around the world, I've decided to study the sky once again to see if anything has changed since last, which is now almost two years ago (it was on the day of Awakening, week 2 of the Raven's starfall, 986).<br>
A lot has happened since my last publishment. Many big things. My friends and I had to move to a new world, building up a new town from scratch. I don't remember the exact date, but some day a pack of barbarians came by and torn it all apart. I even went to the land of the dead and temporarely temporarily disappeared from this world, but the gods smiled upon me and saved me.
I'm sorry that my partner, Martin, couldn't participate in the project this time. He got killed too and has completely disappeared from this world.<br>

===Rotation center of the sky===
First thing to notice is, that the sun still rises in north and sets in south. That means we're still in the middle of a pole switch.<br>

By looking at the path of the stars and the rotation center, we can confirm the first conclusions from last observation.<br>
