You may notice the stars started roughly where I stopped last time (see 2020-12-25 Celestial South Pole 01)

I compared the two sets of time lapse photos and found that pictures showing the same look are roughly 100 minutes apart. For example the photo taken at 9.30pm looks almost the same as that taken at 2020-12-25 11.10pm when the Southern Cross appeared.

You can figure out the Celestial South Pole in the video by putting your mouse cursor at where all the stars are rotating around. In real life, one usually start with the Southern Cross, and with imagination extend 4.5 times its length from its bottom.

Towards the end of the video, the pair of pointer stars (to Southern Cross) appear near the cypresses.
