- Suma said "Negative latitude means northern hemisphere in our coordinate system, therefore you should be able to see the Polaris on Sahrani (the june/july is also the season with longest daytime there)."
- It is also commented in the SaraLite config : "positive is east, positive is south". It seems odd they chose not to use the universal positive = north.
