bistdunarrisch3D animation of my astro rig
Neat animation. I notice you have lots of forest around so you won’t be able to see Polaris until it’s high up and mixed with other stars. How do you polar align? I’m new to this and at my house by the time I see Polaris I can’t differentiate it from the other stars to be able to polar align.
Polaris is the one start that doesn’t rise. It’s always at the same height at the same spot. Learning the constellations of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major is a great first step into observing the night sky.
I didn’t think about that it doesn’t move in the sky. That’s definitely going to change my perspective on this. I was able to generally find where it should be due to the big dipper but had trouble figuring out quite which star it was
