I am jealous. Laser pointer. And that was dope when you said “dazzle the eye.”

You can just catch Ursa Major for the southern hemisphere.I use to live in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (about 29 degrees South)and i have seen the square box part of Ursa Major just above the northern horizon.I never had any luck with Ursa Minor from down there but closer to the Equator the box part must pop over the horizon although you'd need dark skies and very clear weather.

I have a question. When you show the stars rotation around, they don't seem to be rotating around Polaris. Am I inaccurate. Should they be rotating around Polaris in the rotating diagram or what am I missing.

How to spot the Polaris, I can't seem to find it even though the night is clear. I live in Pakistan... Can I spot it here? No video works for me😭🤧

Hi! Xenoy - Little Big Snake, good to hear from you. You should be able to locate Polaris from Pakistan. Look northwards and if you are within a developed area, try and head away from streetlights and any effects of light pollution to find a darker site. Refer to my video again and I hope this will be able to help you find more of the constellations and beyond! :)
