Polar Aligning The 12" SCT

Hi All

This is probably a doppy question, so it's ok to shake your head in disbelief, however i have never used one of these instruments before, so i was wondering, seeing that we life in the southern part of the world, is there something special i must do to line up with the South Celestial Pole.

The manual only refers to the Northern Hemisphere.

Do i have to tell the scope that i live here or will it automatically detect that and do a polar align using my home coordinates

Cheers leon..Now don't laugh
