I posted in here somewhere how I polar align very fast with a green laser, but I can't find it.
But this is how I do it:
1. Align my Laser and scope with each other using any bright star.
2. Then I make sure the scope is lined up with the mount (perpendicular) at 'Home' postion.
3. Find the Octans Trapezium in low power binocs (should be able to make it out in light pollution).
4. While keeping Octans Trap in binocs, reach over and turn laser on.
5. Adjust mount until laser is on the spot where the SCP is, then do final adjustment with Polar scope (if you have one).
6. Drift align if you wish. I don't bother as it is usually spot-on with the polar scope.
I have made some guides for you to point the laser at the SCP:
1. Octans box widefield so you can see where it is
2. Octans box and SCP location in low power binocs
