Will polemaster work for me?

Hi Everyone - Here is the view of the southern sky from my backyard. I was thinking of buying polemaster to make my life easier as my setup is not permanent

My questions are as follows:

1. Is the FOV for polemaster small enough so I can align without hitting the neighbours roof as cutoff. This is important, cause the last thing I need is the software telling me to pick stars through the roof.

2. I'm in western sydney the skys are quite light polluted. The photo was taken using gopro and was wondering if polemaster will have issues picking up the stars around sigma octantis. Cause I for hell cannot see anything my eyes and the gopro struggles as well.

Waiting for the response.
