Hi all,

I had a question about polar alignment.

I am very much a beginner and I do not even have a mount as yet (
I am still waiting for Eq6r-pro stock.)

Was reading about plate solving in APT, mainly in the context of 'star aligning' the scope.

The process for aligning to scope in APT seems to be
1) Polar align the scope
2) Slew the scope somewhere random away from the SCP and start tracking
3) run Point Craft and blind solve for this position and then sync with the mount (analogous with a one star alignement)
4) goto++ for desired imaging object.

I was wondering for polar alignment if these steps would work
1) roughly align scope to SCP
2) run blind plate solve
3) move alt-az based on results
4) redo above two steps till polar aligned.

Am I missing something here (i feel like I most certainly am) or can this work for polar alignment.

Cheers
