You do ... on your SW AZEQ6 the hand control has a built in polar alignment routine which does not need to use any stars near the pole in order to work. Just be sure to turn off the menu item which tells it to use the Advanced Filter, and to show alikgnment stars based on name ... so you can then do your alignment selecting your stars based on name. Once you have done either a two star or three star alignment it opens up on the hand control menu the Polar Align option. It does not take long to do.
On your star adventurer if you cannot see the polar region to use the SharpCap PA function then you are stuck with drift alignment as the way to go. Check out Google for the DARV Drift Aligning Robert Vice method as another way to drift align.
