The capital of Northwest Territories, a territory of Canada, is the town of Yellowknife at a latitude 62 degrees N of the equator. What is the altitude of the North Star as seen from this location? Show your calculation using the formula provided in INFO of this HW for credit. (Use declination = +90° for N. Star) NOTE: this star’s position does not change over the course of a day or year since it is almost directly above the rotational axis of our planet. If your answer is greater than 90 degrees then the object is not in the South at all but in the opposite direction.

To locate your object in the opposite direction, calculate 180 - your answer.
