I often get polar alignment by having the camera in line with the polar axis and shooting star circles or arcs really which gives a pretty good polar align without to much trouble..you move the mount until you center the arcs..easy but you may need a couple of takes☺.so if you could first mount your camera to the mount on top of its base aligned to the axis (right angles to the base should get you close☺) this assumes the base is on a latitude wedge...that should work...you will be limited to 30 second subs but an hours worth is an hours worth and many subs really help with noise...plus unguided and not exact polar alignment gives you a built in dither.

So you may be able to get started with a wedge and a t ring (scope camera fitting) ...get or make a focuser mask..a disk with two holes is easy to make until you get a bat mask.
