The polarscope and everything else is in good working order? (and is the polarscope marked to help with finding the pole? )
Hi Aaron, the polar scope does have the markings for sigma Octans to assist with polar alignment. I have also noted the presence of the shafts which look like they would support a clock drive but I haven't completed any research to confirm this.
