Oh where,oh where can a polar scope be found? ; ^)

For visual observing without GOTO, I just sight Polaris through
the polar scope hole and power up.
If I want to use GOTO with fairly good accuracy, I align with the
polar scope then calibrate--no iterations needed. That is good
enough to get well inside the field of a decent sized eyepiece.
