Octans - for the life of me, I just can't pick it up or recognise it (eyepiece or camera image). I find in Polemaster I turn on the display template option helps locate it easier to recognise the star patterns etc.
Hi Troy

At home I have 3 pads sunk into the back garden where I plonk down the tripod, so Octans is always in the FOV of the polar alignment scope and easily in the FOV of the PoleMaster.

It’s when I go portable that the fun begins, hence the wooden triangle and compass.

Cheers
