Polaris: North Star

Northern Hemisphere
Point the telescope in the general direction of Polaris (the North Star).  Remember that Polaris is straight north and is the same number of degrees above the horizon as your latitude on Earth.  In other words, if you live at 45 degrees north latitude, you would point the scope north and up at a 45 degree angle.
