Even for me as a northerner, who visits a southern hemisphere country almost every year, is is no big issue.
With my Super Polaris mounted ED110 travel scope I put BQ Octantis (+6.9) in the center of the polar scope field and I can take prime focus (f=600mm) exposures up till 5 minutes without guiding. The star is only 10' off polar axis which I correct as well if necessary.
