I am still fairly new to this but I found the best way to learn is to find someone who can help you use the polar scope, to show you exactly what you need to look for. I struggled with tutorials online and one night at the observatory someone showed me the trapezium which includes Polaris Australis and I have not struggled to polar align since. I know drift alignment etc makes it more accurate but when you first start out you won't be aiming for 5 minute subs anyway..
