dont forget you look at it when held above your head lol
What do you mean? The pivot point, ie; eyelet in centre, denotes the SCP. Depends on how far South you are as to how high to hold it...... L.
ps. FWIW, a quick South pole finder = Find Crux, draw line thru long axis towards Achernar, approx. 1/2 way between is SCP. If Achernar is not visible, then measure 4.5 Crux's or 26 degs along......or you can look for Sigma Octans..
