HOW TO USE
Polar Alignment in the Southern Hemisphere
The polar axis of the POLARIE is aligned to the South Celestial Pole in the southern hemisphere. The Polarie polar scope PF�L utilizes 3 stars of Sigma Octantis, Tau Octantis and Chi
Octantis near the South Pole. Positions of these stars are plotted on the reticle of the polar scope. To locate the S.C.P, you simply match each of the position scale on the reticle with the
designated 3 stars caught by the polar scope. Also, the patterns of the Southern Cross and Alpha Eridani are engraved on the reticle for use as a guidepost for the South Pole.
