South Celestial Pole

South Celestial Pole
If you start from the bottom you can see the Bright dot Which is 47 Tucane just above the 4.
Next Above to the very left of the first word you can see the three stars in a line Y1, Y2,Y3 Octane in this case bottom to the top.
Just above to the left of the first word is the 4 Octanes in the shape of a bowl been tipped out over to the left Left to right around the 4 . X Oct, Sig. Oct or Polaris Australis below T Oct and U Oct the lowest one.

the area of the South Celestial pole Is just below the very left front of the A. you can almost draw a line through them all.

The Southern Pole

All of this is made possible because of the Pole Master I can for the first time actually see them as they are. They move, the bowl shape of the octans moves around in a 360 rotation depending on the month and time of night. I have to use an app on the phone to see what shape I am looking for to find them they dont have names on them out in space.

Now look at the night sky and try and find them. this is one of the 16mm shots that could have made up the bow below, cropped so you can see the area of the sky.
