I did not reckon I would go down the polemaster route, I bought mine almost on impulse as it came up secondhand here at a good price. No looking back I think.

The only thing I reckon they should do, though it might take longer than drift aligning is, I reckon a different routine should make it possible to determine the mount axis like normal then park to the home position with tracking off to produce some star trails and find the pole from that, without having to be able to see Octans. It is just a problem that with the field of view it might take so long to produce good trails that is is not really useful.
