This arrived from My Astro Shop today - the Polarie polar scope. It's very nicely built, with smooth dial controls and crystal clear optics. The quality of finish is superb, with nicely machined surfaces, knurling and anodising.
I'll give it a rip tonight and see if I can quickly and accurately find alignment. I must confess that I've never really used a polar scope before - relying on compass and inclinometer and then drift aligning my imaging rig. I hope that by using an accurately set compass and inclinometer, I can at least find the darned Octans asterism in the field of view.
I'll let you know
