Thank you John for your suggestions but let me update you.
I cut down some trees and found a very small window to use my pole master (a small camera you place in the polar axis or where your polar scope is found).
With it and the program it comes with you use stars around the Celestial South Pole to find the Celestial South Pole ..it is rather exact thankfully.
