PhD2 has a neat Polar Drift Alignment tool that I have been using with my Star Adventurer. It is based on analysing the drift of a star close to the pole imaged though your guider. It is accurate enough for the short focal length stuff that I'm doing. Maybe not good enough for your purposes but it should be adequate to get the magic asterism into the polar scope FOV.

Cheers,
Rick.
