- 2349z - Shot Polaris at 56*6.9' elevation @ 20:34:08??
You can see the anomaly is the time of the shot sighting was off by 3hrs 15mins. What am I missing or doing wrong? Is there an adjust ment I need to make?

The angle of Polaris above the horizon is equal to the degree latitude that you are standing on. Therefore at the equator, Polaris is 0 degrees above the horizon and at the north pole, Polaris is 90
Edit:
here is a online almanac also a good celestial software is Stellarium to see where polaris and any other celelstial body was in game time and date
