seeing Polaris

Do you have a polar alignment scope?

In any event, to align on Polaris, one must be either using the scope

itself or

a polar alignment scope. All that is necessary is to get close so if one

has a

sense of where north is, then that is probably good enough to being

alignment.

I can't believe all the people who are always saying getting in the vacinity
of polaris is "good enough" for polar aligning. That is so lame.

Many of us are pragmatists. I'd rather spend another 20 min viewing
than striving for perfection. And my experience is the "Close enough"
is "good enough" -- particularly when Polaris is not precisely "North"
anyway.

But it is a hobby: We all do what we enjoy.
