When you use a map to find a place on the earth you use LAT and LONG.

The
same has to be true for the sky.


Do you polar align your map too, or just turn it until it's facing
north. To most people simply turning the map so that the top is facing
north is "good enough".



Do you mean turn or orientate? Do you use lat and long on a map when you
really don't know
where a place is on the earth..if you don't then either you have a very good
index or
your comment ranks right up there with the 3 dumbest posts next to "the
ancient one".
