Celestron Polaris Setting Plate

I have one too. But it only works with my right angle finder scope. For
straight though I found a program called "Polar Finder". This program
prints out charts for a four hour period around your choosen observing time.
Hope this helps.

Let me start by mentioning how glad I am that the word "amateur" is part
of
this NG, for this is truly an amateur question....

I've got a 9x50 straight through finder and saw this part available for
$6.00 on Astronomics (it actually comes with a 7x50 finder)

I figured how could I go wrong for only $6.00?? It may not be exactly
what
would show up in the 7x50, but I bet it'd be pretty close.

Having said all that - my truly amateur question is:
How do ya work the thing? I've read the description on the web page, but
I'm still quite confused - maybe an example would make things a bit
clearer
for me. Unfortunately, no documentation comes with the item.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Alex
