Polar Alignment Visual Description

[Aeseir]

Hi all,

Figured i share this site that has a visual reperesentation of polar alignment and how it works.

Basically enables you to visual picture what happens when mount is in and out of polar alignment and why objects move the way they move.

This helped me heaps get the drift alignment right in my head before i applied it in real world.

You might find this video helpful too, I made it some years ago! (turn subtitles on, much better than listening to my  voice)
