Beautiful pic and congrats on the APOD! How hard is it aligning the Kenko Skymemo in the southern hemisphere?

Thanks guys for your comments ! To be honest, polar alignment of SkyMemo mount in Southern hemosphere is a bit tricky. All reference stars in the field of view of the built-in finder are quite faint. To set them up properly you really need good sky. I hardly imagine how it can be done under suburban conditions. Just to mention - I have never used a drift-alignment method though.
