Polar Alignment

Hi All,

This is probably completely wrong, but...

If i got a celestron skyscout, put a laser on it and put it on a tripod. Then told it to point at the SCP.

Would this make it simple to polar align my NEXSTAR 11 assuming it was on a wedge. Pointing roughly south and so on.

I mean i could use the finder to align the laser dot to the center of the eyepiece using the wedge controls?

This is probably a dumb idea, so sorry
