how to locate pole star

[chroot]

If you're in the northern hemisphere, look due north. The pole star (Polaris) will be as many degrees above the northern horizon as you are north of the equator. In other words, if you're at 30 degrees north latitude, Polaris will appear 30 degrees above your northern horizon.
