Hi,
Not sure if this is that helpful but..
When you think you are polar aligned, align the scope in the home position and take a photo. If you upload it to
http://nova.astrometry.net it will plate solve for you and show you where in the sky you are pointing, plus give you a map of your field of view with objects of interest marked (e.g. the scp). You should be able to see if you are actually in the ball park.
Cheers
Paul
