Hi Narayan,
Nice pic.
It's an absolutely great little product, I'm extremely happy with mine too.
As you hit on I don't know how difficult alignment is in the south but all I have been doing until I get a polar scope is place polaris in the sight hole and at 50mm can get close to 3 minutes worth of an exposure and at 18mm I can get around 5 minutes, unfortunately for me LP is an issue though.
One day once I get the polar scope I'll get around to writing a thorough review but I absolutely adore it.
