Smile Polar alignment in balcony

Hi everyone,

I am new to this hobby, I have an HEQ5 mount connect with my PC by EQMOD and a 190mm scope with QHY5 camera.
I wonder is it possible to do polar align in my balcony where is facing to the north-west?
Another question is should I do polar alignment first or I can start with 1-star alignment?

Last time I bring my equipment out and entered the correct location, and put the mount to the initial position when I start 1-star alignment with Stellarium, the scope point to the other side of the sky, and AZ and RA shows Limit in EQMOD and failed to finish the alignment.

Cheers,
