Does any one know how the original data of the mars positions given in
Tycho's notebooks (Brahe, Tycho. Edited by I.L.E. DreyerTychonis Brahe Dani Opera Omnia. (in Latin) Vol 1-15. 1913-1929.) are organized? The declination data is clear to me, but every astronomy textbook refers to POSITIONAL data of Tycho which would also include rectascension data. Kepler used Tycho's data for determining the orbit of mars, therefore it would be interesting which data he exactly had for deriving his first law. Wayne Pafko has an very interesting site on the declination measurements of Tycho (www.pafko.com/tycho/index.html) but he also did not give any information about the rectanscension values. Any ideas?
