HOW TO USE

5 

As Polaris shifts to the designated position on the reticle, both Delta 
UMi and 51 Cep come close to their own designated position scales 

respectively. While looking into the eyepiece of the polar scope, turn 
the polar scope body so that each of the position scale for Delta UMi 
and 51 Cep come to the closest to actual Delta UMi and 51 Cep 
respectively.

The numbers 15 and 40 on the position scales for Delta UMi and 51 
Cep show the years 2014 and 2040 respectively.

Delta UMi

51 Cep
