The easy way is get yourself Alignmaster and a compass and forget all the Sigma... Stuff. Search through my posts and there are detailed instructions on how to use this method. You need to be using equatorial mount though. Hope that helps you.

I'm in Adelaide and my eq mount elevation is 35 degrees, I aim the scope at 172 degrees on the compass for a visual south celestial pole starting point.

Look up on the web for similar settings for your location.

Cheers,

Damien.
