If you line up something with your polar scope during the day and make sure that your scope lines up also then at night with the mount in home position and not running you can take a long exposure which shows starcircles (actually just arcs) and adjust the mount so the center of those circles is the center of frame and that will get you very close. Choose a low I so and go for about 10 minutes..if nothing else you will have a nice star trail photo.
I use pole master and like it but I often do the above just to get close so I can use pole master.. often I find the first step gets very close and the other night it was almost spot on as I did very little adjustment with pole master.
