HOW TO USE
Using a Star Map
You can use a star map and the sight tube
finder to locate Polaris so that you can align the
POLARIE U to the north celestial pole. You will be
able to find Polaris without difficulty if you know
the position of the constellations Cassiopeia and
the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major).
1
Attach the sight tube finder onto the
accessory shoe of the POLARIE U.
2
Find Polaris using the star map
which is commercially available on
the market.
3
Set up the POLARIE U in a location
where Polaris is visible from the
sight tube finder. As Polaris is in the
north, it is useful to have a compass
for checking the direction.
4
Look through the sight tube finder
to see if Polaris is seen somewhere
in the field of view, and then
center Polaris in the field of view
by adjusting the orientation of the
tripod.
Polaris is a conspicuous 2�grade star
as no bright stars are seen around.
