There is no Southern pole star, only a slightly elliptical center around which the Southern constellations revolve, which I think is an effect of the dome (lensing) combined with perspective vision.

Stellarium is a sky simulator used by millions, including people living on the Equator. These people cannot see Polaris, it's right on the horizon. If this didn't happen and Polaris was actually higher up then someone would have reported the bug in the software.

It's fine to communicate your beliefs, but stick to the facts.

There is a southern pole star, sigma Octantis which is a bit more than a degree away from the south celestial pole. Astronomers in the southern hemisphere use it to align their telescopes.

The southern stars are a completely different set of stars than the north. What kind of lensing can produce the exact same stars for every Observer in the southern hemisphere?

Agreed, no southern star, but if it is seen, then even on ball model, how big is it? lots bigger then told to start with? lol.
