APPENDIX B: HELPFUL CHARTS
Latitude Chart for Major Cities of the World
To aid in the Polar Alignment procedure (see page 50), latitudes of major cities around the world are listed below. To
determine the latitude of an observing site not listed on the chart, locate the city closest to your site. Then follow the
procedure below:
Northern Hemisphere observers (N)
: If the site is over 70 miles (110 km) North of the listed city, add one degree for
every 70 miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, subtract one degree per 70 miles.
Southern Hemisphere observers (S)
: If the site is over 70 miles North of the listed city, subtract one degree for every
70 miles. If the site is over 70 miles South of the listed city, add one degree per 70 miles.
Looking at or near the
Sun
will cause
irreversable
damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the
Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
