Anyone else who has set up a permanent astro lab with a German Equatorial mount and solved this problem care to share their method?

The polar alignment in PEMPro is done at the meridian close to the equator then at the east or west horizon so very different parts of the sky on multiple stars. When you have those two trending horizontally then you're good to go. If you rely on only one star you might have your elevation or azimuth still wrong.
