Now that Messer already aligned the appropriate tooth of the inner disk with the current date on the outer disk, he need to find the Polaris. Its not that hard to locate the Polaris because its particularly bright. Messer held the nocturnal at arms length and he saw the Polaris through the hole in the central pivot. He rotated the pointer until its indicating edge points to the reference star. Since he was using the "pointer" in Ursa Major, so he pointed the pointer to it. He stared at his nocturnal to see what time its. "10.20!"

He was done with his Astronomy homework. Now he need to get back inside because its freezing here and he also need to check out whether his little experiment right or not. He packed his thing and put all of them into his backpack including the nocturnal. He need to get that and the sundial back to Professor Roslund's office tomorrow.
