Peter, SkySafari shows Sigma Octantis as SAO 258857.
Were you hoping to use this as an alignment star?
The alignment stars used in the Skywatcher hand controller are much brighter stars and usually Named Stars and work quite well for alignment.
The SAO list in the hand controller is not a complete list of SAO numbers.
If you are having alignment issues please let us know the mount model and you will get a lot of good experienced advice I’m sure.
