Not exactly sure which RA/Dec to use to get the NCP. +90 doesn’t work right.

A,

Attached is a chart (by the DSS, via AAVSO at
http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/vsp/index.html) of the NCP (the

cross). The FOV is 1�. The bright-ass thing off the lower left is
Polaris. The 3 brightest stars nearest the NCP are all of 9th magnitude,
and fit nicely in the 1� FOV. If you take a photo of the NCP, your photo
should look like this.

I know you don’t have to screw with this stuff because your G-11 is all
working and stuff. But I thought you might want to see this.

This is the technique that I may use if all else fails:

which is why I wanted the chart.
