Do polar scopes have magnification?

Or are they just 1:1 sorta thing?

I have a Skywatcher EQ6 basic mount with an illuminated polar scope. I've never tried to use it because I can't see Octans from my yard let alone the asterism due to sky glow from the local meatworks. But if there's some magnification in the polar scope then maybe I should try it.

I'm asking rather than trying it because there's no telling when I'm going to get another clear night.
