I never claimed there are stars south of SCP, I am claiming it is the most southern circle around the North star. The further south you get, the higher up on the horizon it will appear, that is due to how perspective works, as you get closer and closer to the most southern stars.
So, you admit there is a northernmost point AND a southernmost point in viewable space. And all the stars revolve around these points… Interesting.
All stars revolve around the North star. In the southern hemisphere all the stars converge at a single point due to how perspective works, as demonstrated by anti crespycular sun rays. That is accordance with the flat earth model.
In the video you sent, at the 18:38 mark, he claims that Octantis is circling the southern rim of the flat Earth. But due to perspective, it converges at one point.
“Even though it is circling across your field of view, it is still going to be converged at one point.”

IF, the SCP circles across to the whole southern rim of the flat Earth, THEN we would see considerable movement throughout the night.
So, show me a time-lapse that shows Octantis (SCP) moving across the field of view. Just one.
The SCP converges at one point, due to how perspective works. Octantis will appear to move in a small circle to us, due to how far away it is, as you get closer, it will rise in the night sky. According to the flat earth model, we would not see Octantis move much across the night sky, as it will appear to converge at a single point to us.
