Using a laser to Polar Align

Hi guys,

In terms of using a laser to get rough polar alignment with a fork mounted telescope, for those who have tried it:

1. How close can you get to the pole (when using binoculars to check pinting location) and when the laser acts like a finderscope and is aligned to your scope?

2. Can you get away with a 1 MW laser in a dark sky?

Clear skies,

John K.
