My field of view is set for 120deg. When I look north on the program, Polaris seems way off base from being at the polar location. I'm using the book "Peterson's Field Guide" "Stars and Planets" The chart from the book places Alpha U Mi at the polar location. How could I correct this apperance? Hi:
Polaris is _close_ to the celestial pole, but not on it. It's about 3/4 degree "off".
