S Hemisphere-Can Norman work in the Southern Hemisphere?

Yes, NOMAD can work in Southern hemisphere. The alignment target of the Southern hemisphere is Sigma Octantis or the South Celestial Pole.
If you already have a ballhead, you can check the phone mount kit: https://www.moveshootmove.com/collections/move-shoot-move-rotator/products/msm-rotator-for-star-tracking-time-lapse-panorama-photography?variant=42128160030937

This phone mount is a polar alignment tool, it can help you attach the phone at the backside of NOMAD, then use the app Photopills/Stellarium to guide the adjustment to align NOMAD to Sigma Octantis or the South Celestial Pole. There is a video guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfHH0_bkbKE, although the alignment target in the video is Polaris, the using method is the same, you just need to align to a different target.

One ballhead is to connect NOMAD to the tripod then another one is to connect the camera to NOMAD. This kit will come with one ballhead.
