seeing Polaris

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".

Honestly, I'd have to say "How long after sunset can you pick out
Polaris with the unaided eye?" beats it hands down.

Honestly, I'd have to answer, "Until shortly before sunrise."

How 'bout, "How soon after sunset can you pick out Polaris
with the unaided eye?"

btw, did you hear about the man who stayed up all night
waiting to see where the sun went after it sets?

....it finally dawned on him.

The answer to this grammatical type is, "from the time it first appears to
the time it disappears!!!"
So I should have been more clear for the mentally challenged when I first
raised the issue. My appologies.
But, I did get my answer from representatives from the normal side of the
SAA population. Thank you.
