I specially added a reticule with Octans stars for south locations.
Actually I need to test it in south hemisphere (I am French...). If you can do that and provide me with your feedback I will be happy.
hopefully it will be useful for you.

Thanks Monaghan,
I have been using this for a couple of months now, and I love it.
Sure, its simple, and all the info is available from other sources, but to have it all in one spot, in the right format, and right order, just makes the setup process so much quicker and accurate.

Brilliant! 5 Stars!

The only thing better would be if it provided the best alignment stars (in pairs) for your position and time (based on altitude, position in respect of the meridian, and separation degrees, etc. for Skywatcher Synscan to optimise alignment)

Thanks again and Regards
