The solution is a lot simpler than first imagined. Sigma Octans is fixed over its desired location on the recticule and the outer scale rotated with a direct conversion for date and time - in white.

I'm pretty sure that the conversion is correct - though not exact I suspect - near enough to orientate the observer with the surrounding stars.
